Did your dad ever make a special gift, just for you?

When i was nine years old, i had the mumps in both sides of my neck. for about a month, my dad had been working secretly on some project out in the garage. not even my mother had a clue. in
1951, we had a major blizzard in my city. the ice came first and the
snow came second. a lot of snow. i wanted to go out in the snow
something fierce, but could not for running a fever. i was in the
dumps with the mumps. my dad finally uncovered his secret garage project and his
timing was perfect. a handbuilt sled just for me. i treasured the sled
forever. what about you? did your mom or dad ever make
something just for you and nobody else?
