I’ve been waiting for something in the mail. I hate waiting for something in the mail, especially when it’s something special for someone else.
But it finally arrived a little while before the holidays, so I saved it to be a special Christmas present. I was more excited about giving this gift than receiving any of my own.
It was for my wife. It was this:
It’s a midnight pearl with crystals set in sterling silver.She loved it. When I told her how beautiful I knew it would look on her hand, she put it on and glowed.
When I told her that it was also a symbol of persevering through struggle, she tucked into me and cried.
It was a wonderful Christmas.
