This Pin has a great story behind it.

When I was a little girl

my mommom would wear this pin on the label of her coat

every Christmas Season.

She would sit me on her lap,so I could stare at its beauty.

I thought it was the most beautiful thing I ever seen.

After she passed,I thought life would never be the same.

She was my other half and she is gone.

As Christmas approached, I was still deeply saddened.

I didn't think that Christmas would be a happy holiday again.

Two days before Christmas Eve, I received a package from my father.

It had gifts for the kids and me inside.

As my daughter and I unpacked it

There was a small gold box that said Open Now on it

As I opened it,I recognized it instantly.

It was my mommom pin!

My dad knew how much I loved that pin and wanted me to know she

was still with me always.

Needless to say it brightened my day and my Christmas!

Knowing that I can have her near me every holiday from then on out.
