It is a tradition in the town of Mirabel for fathers to give their daughters a gift on their 16th birthday. The gift is supposed to be something that will help the daughter as she enters womanhood. It is usually something practical, like a piece of jewelry or a nice handbag. However, some fathers go above and beyond and give their daughters something truly special.
For instance, one father gave his daughter a necklace with a locket that held a picture of her late mother. Another gave his daughter an heirloom ring that had been passed down through the family for generations. And yet another gave his daughter tickets to see her favorite band in concert. No matter what the gift is, it is always given with love and pride.
