<meta charset="UTF-8"><span>Well everyone on the planet knows how hard 2020 year was and I wasn’t spared and neither was my loved one, my mom. I had an emergency appendectomy in the early spring and then my mom had a very serious stroke shortly after. She lost all mobility on her right side and much of her ability to communicate and understand. (Although she still is improving even after nearly a year ago). She resides in a nursing home and I finally got my first “real” visit with her, after doing months and months of the window visits. (Also, I could never get the smeary window cleaned - so trying to see her around it was super challenging)- So I very recently got that first visit, that first hug and boy what a joy for us both. When she went to hold my hand she touched my beautiful flower (Have Faith) bracelet and I quickly said , I want you to have this - it says have faith on the inside and we always have hope and faith right!? And she had a big smile on her face and pinched her left hand fingers and I slipped that bracelet on her and realized that is exactly what these bracelets represent- sharing, love , faith, joy. She was so happy and so was I. It was fun. She’s quite elderly, and I’m getting there at 62; but, hoping to enjoy many more fun and loving visits with her. I just ordered the replacement one and whether it’s that one or another; I’m sure the moment and time will happen again. I know I really will enjoy the gift of giving, “and” receiving. My daughters like them as well. It’s really neat to show and share something so meaningful and different;)</span>
