Tonight, I arrived home to yet another package. It's curious how normal it has become to have stacks of packages almost daily at the door and in the mailbox.
But this was no ordinary package.
Just days prior to the one year anniversary of my dear friend Anne Marie's passing, her sister, my friend Patricia Costick was so thoughtful and sent me one of the beautiful bracelets Anne Marie made.
I went with her on local trips to find beads for her jewelry making, but she went on so many longer trips with our mutual friends Cheri and Gerald. They even traveled to special places in Mexico.
She had a sweet little room at the back of her house with beautiful wood walls and big windows to her backyard where she created all of her jewelry and bead work. I loved that room.
While the thing I wish I had most was more time with her, I will treasure this bracelet and wear it often as a precious reminder of her.
Thank you for your love and thoughtfulness, Trish. Sending you love and continued comfort.
Anne Marie, you are deeply missed from the bottom of my still aching heart.
