My dad wore a St. Christopher's Medallion on a gold chain around his neck all of the time. His mother gave it to him when he was shipped out during the Vietnam War and he never took it off. When he passed away last month, my mother kept it and has worn it since. I get really sad when I see it outside of her shirt, but I know that it really means a lot to her and helps her to feel close to him again. I really miss him!!
Omg I am so sorry for your lost :(. I can Imagine how hard is for you this process, but your a strong women. A mother and father are so important in everyone lives, as for me too.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing form of symbolism. Something was given to a loved one who never parted with it until the end. But now it can continue to be passed on.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. So glad your mother had something to keep her close to him.
