A couple of months ago I purchased this pendant for myself after hearing about Traveling Pendants in the Dayton Daily News. My husband was ill for some time and has recently passed away. We were married for 47 years. I am nearly 80 years old. He was everything to me, husband, lover, best friend, partner in every part of life. We raised 3 children, have 3 grandchildren and a great-grandchild – I love them all but he was my person.
I wasn’t sure I should buy this for myself but somehow I knew it would have meaning for me….and it does.
“Strength for the Journey” – exactly what I need, but how to find it. I’m digging deep inside for reasons to enjoy my life, treasuring the memories, spending time with friends and family….. and I am wearing this necklace. I find myself reaching for it when the hard times come, rubbing it and reminding myself that my husband thought I was strong, reminding myself that I AM strong. I now have a second one and this one will be passed on to someone who is going through her own hard journey.
