Clock radio
It might be ugly as hell, but this clock radio is one of the most precious birthday gifts I ever got from my parents. And it's old too, almost 25 years! I got it when I turned eleven or twelve and I still recall my initial disappointment over not getting a toy.
Boy was I wrong! It just took me some time to realize that.
Over the years this gift has taught me to love radio, music, cabaret and debate. It keeps me company when I'm in bed because of the flu or when I just can't sleep. And it also assured that I hardly ever overslept for anything in the last decades.
Thanks for the great gift mom and dad! It has partly made me who I am and I have you to thank for it.
