My talented sister took this photo of Jon and I in Coolidge Park during her visit with my family over Labor Day weekend. The necklace I'm wearing belonged to my grandmother, who passed shortly after Mother's Day this year. I feel very blessed to have received such a lovely gift! It has to be my most favorite (pre-) birthday present ever. I remember her wearing this necklace a lot and I always loved it. It's not very visible here (which I hope to remedy with a detail shot soon) but it's a dainty little rose carved into pearl, hanging on a very delicate chain.
I really miss my grandmother. Since her death I've had dreams about her regularly ~ once a week it seems... All very wonderful where the both of us (sometimes with my grandfather) are sitting together, just talking. I feel as though I have more time to be with her now than I had while she was living during her later years, with our distance between Missouri and Tennessee.

I don't think we can really control our dreams, but I'm thankful for these and I hope they continue. It's very special to me.
I dream about my grandmother often, too. and its been 2 years :) the necklace is lovely
