On Feb 4th this year I was handed a box with a butterfly gift tag on it. As it was our wedding anniversary I thought that Hubby was giving me a gift for that. Then I realised that there were two boxes and tags the same. One for me , one for DH. When I opened mine the above pendant was in it. Tears welled when DH told me what it was. It's a bit hard to see and it is much prettier in real life but it is an impression of my son's thumbprint. As some know he passed away in November last year so you can imagine how much it means to me to have a small part of him close to my heart. DH got a dog tag shaped one as well. Thanks to my sisters-in-law ( and MIL) I carry part of Christopher with me.
Hello Ellie, so sad to hear about your son. Losing a child is possibly the most unspeakable tragedy any parent could bear. I think the thumbprint pendant is the most beautiful idea I have ever come across. Thank you for sharing this with us today.

ReplyDeleteWhat a precious gift & a treasure of a DH. Tracee xx
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful treasure, but you do not need to feel your child closely. Three of my children are my angels in heaven and that are always by my side ...
