My mother gave me the two most thoughtful gifts this year... with a little (or maybe a lot of coaxing from my little sister!)
She told me that she hmm’d and haaa’d
about the purchase for a while and went back and forth because what she
really wanted me to have was the necklace above... why?... because the
name of the necklace is “Claire”. (Check out Stella & Dot to see more of their fabulous jewelry!)
My mom did not want to upset me. She
doesn’t like to see me cry. No mother does!! But my sister, in all her
19 years of wisdom told her that it probably would make me cry but it
would be happy tears for the fact that Claire was still being
acknowledged. Sweetness.
I love it.
The second part of my gift was a gift
certificate towards getting my memorial tattoo done. I am hoping to go
out to Edmonton in March either on or around the anniversary of Claire’s
second EDD to get it done. So exciting!!
I cannot even begin to say than you
mom, for the sentimental, and deeply meaningful gifts. Yes, they made me
cry but they are always good tears when it comes to my baby girl! (The
only down side is I work from home so I will not get a chance to wear my
necklace as often as I would like! ;)
