on a slightly better note...

I went back to cleaning and found a necklace I've been trying to find for a long time.



A couple of years ago I bought a set of simple heart necklaces from Claire's boutique. One had a solid heart and the other had an outline of a heart (pictured above)...and the hearts fit together. I bought these to help Kate with some separation anxiety she was experiencing at school. We each wore one of them for awhile until she felt better about going to school. Then she moved onto other, more fashionable jewelry and we put our necklaces in our respective jewelry boxes.

A couple of weeks before the accident Kate started wearing hers again and asked me to wear mine. She was wearing it when she died.

I wore my necklace every day for a couple of months, but would always take it off before getting in the shower. One day in June I misplaced it and hadn't seen it since. Until tonight. :)

  2. That must have been Kate telling you she is watching over you - she wanted you to find that necklace at that very moment for a reason!

  3. I'm just catching up on the last few posts. I don't know you, but I think of you often since I've been reading your blog and pray for you on a regular basis. I hope your kids continue to talk to you and that it helps you heal the best you can.

  4. I just stumbled upon your posts. Though I don't know who you are. Consider yourself Blessed. Your children are not gone, They are with you everyday. Look at the signs they give you. Keep an open mind. You will see many more signs that they are still looking upon you.

  11. It was not a coincidence, finding the necklace. Looking at your prior post then this... Kate wanted you to find it. She and Peter are still with you and will always be with you.
