Day 23: Jewelry

These are my main pieces of jewelry that I own because of Connor. I have a few rubber bracelets too, but these are the most important.

The bracelet: My oldest sister made me the bracelet. Not only did she make me the bracelet, she then offered to make anyone who attends the Share group I go to one. This one is more of an occasional wear. I don't want to damage it in any way.

The necklace: This is a combination of things. The chain and birthstone are from my husband. After we lost Connor, he bought me these. It originally also had a big heart pendant. The heart had footprints on it. This was bittersweet. I loved it. However, it brought a lot of questions. I had quite a few strangers ask me if I had just had a baby, or about my child, after seeing the pendant.

My friend, Sarah, had sent me a beautiful, delicate, ring. I wore it a lot, because I loved it. Unfortunately, it was very delicate and broke. I looked at the etsy shop she had ordered it from, and the lady had this pendant on there. I asked Sarah if she minded if I exchanged it for that, instead of another ring. I replaced the big pendant with this "c" pendant.

It is perfect. I wear it every single day. It doesn't lead to any questions, but I know exactly what it means.
