So about a month ago with all the talking the Hubby and I were doing about the very fast approaching Christmas Holiday. Richard mentioned that he would like to give the boys something just from him. Something special that they could always have and know how much they mean to him. Something with meaning. A trinket, a treasure to remember him by and to know that they are always loved whether he is here or not. Just for them to know how very much he loves them and is always with them.
So after some thinking and talking and some more thinking. I sent Shannon an e-mail to ask her about the person who made her lovely initial necklace. Shannon was such a great help and gave me all the info I needed to stalk I mean find this lovely person.
Kristen has been truly wonderful. Richard knew what he had in mind and then I deciphered it and between the three of us we came up with something that is wonderful and more than I expected. She makes beautiful jewelry and if you are looking for that special gift for someone look no further than Kristen's Etsy Shop.
I can't explain the bond between a Father and their Sons. It is something I will never understand. The football watching, the rough housing, the talks about little girls, teaching them to ride their bikes, watching them play games together, all kinds of story telling about school and when Richard was a kid. Just the love that illuminates from the 3 of them. Hearing him getting on to them and then 2 seconds later them yelling from their beds where they sit in trouble "I love you Daddy" Oh how it melts my heart when Richard yells back
Thank you so much Kristen for giving my boys this gift to cherish... always.
