The bracelet

The first Christmas after Robert graduated, my best friend gave me a bracelet as a gift.  I loved the style, and she had specifically chosen it because it had a Navy anchor on it.  I loved that bracelet.  I wore it often.  I even took a picture of it and texted it to Robert.  I told him one of the reasons I loved it was because it made me think of him (which of course was her purpose), and I felt like he was with me when I wore it.  Of course I never heard a response from Robert.

As things happened though, I stopped wearing the bracelet.  While I still love the style, the fact that it reminded me of Robert was just too painful.  I have no intention of getting rid of it, but it's been tucked into my jewelry box for quite some time.  Since I loved the style, I decided to buy myself a Christmas present.  I found a very similar bracelet, except that it has a dangle charm that says "Blessed."  I absolutely love it, and I am very blessed!
