The oldest thing I’m wearing today is my cross necklace Mom gave me on my 16th birthday. She had it made out of her engagement and wedding rings, and she and Dad were married in 1976. I’m not much of a jewelry wearer aside from rings because I often forget to take my jewelry off before going to sleep and I’m afraid I’ll break or lose whatever I fall asleep in.

My necklace quickly became one of my security items I would wear when I needed Mom most; being admitted to the hospital, having surgery (Mom or Adam would hold onto it until I could put it back on), going to the doctor alone, etc.

Hmm. What can I tell you about me? Rather, what do I think you should see? My eyes are green, my skin is fair. I have an abundance of auburn hair. I like to write and I love to think. I adore all animals and the color pink. I have six pets and a husband, too. I'm earning my BA in English at SNHU. I write about whatever comes to mind. And I'll read any book that I can find. I shared quite a bit, but what can I say? Thank you for reading, and have a great day! View all posts by Cari R Esta
