This jewelry belonged to a woman that was well-loved by everyone. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother as well as a respectable teacher. Linda fell victim of cancer and lost her battle in early August of 2013. Linda's passing was hard on everyone in her community, especially her loved one's of course. I wasn't close to Linda but I am very close with her family including her son, husband, and grandson. Watching my loved one's go through the loss of someone very dear to them was very hard and to this day, they are all very touchy around the subject, which is expected. Today, I was given the opportunity to look through some of Linda's jewelry and was told by her husband to take anything I wanted. He allowed me to see that I am loved by them as much as I love them and that I am sort of part of their family. These were Linda's personal items and very hard to part with so I felt accepted. Seeing what these people have gone through, losing someone so loved, has taught me to cherish everything, including the little things.
