Sunny was helping Ellen and Nate with
cleaning mom’s house. She set aside a
box of necklaces for Jenna to go through.
There’s a bunch of seashell leis. I think Grandma Mary must have picked a
couple up each time she went on a cruise.
Mom had purchased some as well, but I think the majority came from her
mom.
Jenna had once asked for a “necklace
making kit” and mom had given her one for her birthday. And Jenna chose a special rainbow lace full
of beads to give to grandma in return.
And my mom wore them proudly – at least that one day. It was in the box among the many pieces of jewelry
that remained.
As Jenna was sorting through her
latest “treasures” she asked which of all the necklaces my favorite was.
“Well, this one, of course.” I said as
I held up the rainbow shoelace full of beads.
“Then you can have it,” Jenna beamed.
Two days later it went missing from my
dresser. I found it dangling around
Jenna’s neck. I asked if she was
borrowing my necklace. She said that she
decided she wanted to keep it and I could choose another. I think we can share. I like sharing her treasures because of her
excitement.
