She gave it to me just before she left; just before she moved on to a better place. I wear it around my neck every day. When I open it up, it gives me great joy to see her on one side and me on the other. I think the gold really accentuates the blue in her eyes. Seeing her in that photo, in that bright yellow summer dress makes me feel like she's still sitting there right next to me. I love the intricate engravings carved around it; it reminds me of how beautiful she was. I miss her.
