So I ordered this necklace this week, I've been wanting it for months and couldnt see myself spending useless money on myself. But I went ahead and did it on Monday. This I guess is called a mothers necklace which made me cry thinking I shouldn't get it, not to mention the one I really liked I found on " hip mom" website. But it had such a different meaning for me, when I was younger my grandpa would always sing this to me and when he got really sick and ended up in the hospital I called and sang it to him. To be completely honest I didn't even know it was a real song until about a year ago. Anyway, I saw it and it really melted me and seeing this week's meaning I ordered it. Hand punched and $57 later its here and I love it. Just wanted to share with you ladies!!
Re: my way of celebrating NIAW
Seeing that made me smile. I forgot my mom use to sing that to me. My mom died when I was 25 and I find myself forgetting things as the years go on. Thanks!
