A big hug from Judy


A couple of weeks ago I received a package from Judy, Michael's mom. I wasn't expecting anything but was thrilled with what she sent me: a pair of earrings that were Michael's Great Grandmother's. I was so overwhelmed by the gesture that I was immediately weepy-eyed and felt a kind of big hug from her. One of my favorite things about jewelry is how it can hold an important sentiment. In fact, I enjoy wearing jewelry that was once someone else's more than I enjoy pieces that I've gotten for myself. Thank you, Judy.
