A few years ago, my siblings and I pitched in and bought my mom a charm bracelet for her birthday. She loves it, but it is so heavy, it makes marks on her wrist when she wears it. Needless to say, she doesn’t wear it very much. For Valentine’s Day, my dad bought her a necklace with a heart charm and 2 pink beads. This was a great way for her to display her charms. But the necklace was a bit too long for her frame. Today my mom and I took the necklace back to the store to see what other options she might have. We also brought her bracelet with all her additional bangles. The people there were wonderful and treated her like a queen. They all pitched in with suggestions and tried different things until we found the perfect combination of bracelet, necklace, and charm placements. One of the ladies polished all her charms so they sparkled. She told us the pink beads that my father bought with the necklace said the word “LOVE” on them. We did not realize that before and my heart melted. The finished products were beautiful and both my mom and my dad were very pleased with the end result.

I Found God today in the thoughtfulness and love of my dad, and the care and attention my mom received at the store.
