I Wear A Lot of Bracelets

I wear a lot of bracelets. 😁 I have a favorite necklace that I wear almost every day, so I choose to adorn my wrist with special pieces. I can get away with 6-8 bracelets, but 6-8 necklaces and I'd feel like Mr. T. Plus, I can see them, and hear them jingle throughout the day. Each of these bracelets has a meaning. Some are milestone markers, some reminders for various things/goals/people/moments.  Each one very special to me.

I got two new ones today that mean the world to me. My mother's actual handwriting. I always loved my mom's signature, and tried so hard to emulate it when I was "choosing" mine. (I could never get my R's like hers.) The other is how she signed my 16th birthday card. She usually signed things "Mother", and only occasionally Mom, and I loved that. These words mean the world to me, because I know they are true. Now, I can carry a piece of her with me every day.
