Birthday from my mom

So, I received a box from my mom that had my birthday gift inside. I was told not to open it until my birthday, and then my mom told me it would make me cry. It was a tiny box, so I knew it must be jewelry! What girl doesn't love jewelry!?! So, today is my birthday, and I wanted to open it by myself when I could enjoy the moment and cry if needed. I went for a walk this morning, spent a couple of hours on the phone with my mom, and rocked Cooper to sleep. Then, I got down the gift and went to the recliner to open it. She wasn't wrong. I cried the minute I read the card, and the tears are still flowing. I have wanted to cry all day, and the love and thought of this gift was too much! Before I left Texas, my mom, my sister, and I all made these bracelets. My sister and I got ones with wings on them that say take flight. It represents the wings our mother gave us to go out and live our lives with the families we have made. So, with that being said...here is the gift...
The top locket has Bella's birthstone, Parker's birthstone, and blue baby feet for Cooper. The flag represents Robbie. The bottom locket has a charm for aunt and sister. The guitar represents my step-dad, and the wings are my mom. I will cherish this gift always and can't wait to show it off!!! Thank you, Mom!!! I needed a good cry. :)
