Birthday with My Uncle

One of my favorite childhood memories is one of my earlier birthday parties. My uncle came from outside of the state to spend the day with us and he played his guitar for hours. When I wanted to play it, he let me strum on the strings, but did not allow me to touch the knobs at the top. But, I remember that his music was so beautiful to listen to and I could not understand why it sounded so pretty when he played it, but sounded horrible when I ran my own fingers over the strings. He gave me a teddy bear as my birthday gift that day. I ended up losing it sometime over the years, but I still remember what it looked like and I sometimes even wonder what became of it. That birthday party is my favorite childhood memory because it is the best memory I have with my uncle, who is now resting in peace.
