We Hoped for a Son, but we got Amazing Instead
The test came up positive. The hubby didn’t believe it at first, “but the line is barely showing…what does that mean?” That was 5 years and 9 months ago. Later that night it finally sank in and we started talking. We were both hoping our first would be a boy. The hubby wanted a boy for a couple reasons, and not the ones you think. He grew up with an older sister who was not nice to him; until he finally stood up to her (the dent in the wall still exists to this day). He figured an older brother would more naturally protect a younger sister. There’s also the old saying “Momma’s boy and Daddy’s girl.” I think there’s some truth to that, and he very much wanted me to have that special first relationship. But a couple months later we found out it was a girl. But more importantly, a healthy girl. So that November I got a wonderful post birthday present and about a month later we had our first Christmas where I received a couple beautiful presents celebrating my birthday present.
I wanted something I could pass on. Something that would be mine, to commemorate our daughter, but also something that I could pass on to her when she was older. The hubby delivered. It was a custom designed necklace with my daughter’s name and birth date engraved on it. I didn’t ask how much it cost, and I don’t want to know, but it was perfect, just like her. I know that someday in the future I will have to let it go, as I will have to let her go, but that was the whole point. I didn’t want something that was a gift that went in a box and never got used. I wanted something that I could wear, that was special to me, so that it would be special to her when she grows up. And when she does grow up, she will need a jewelry box to put it in. And I would like that to be something special as well. And the perfect thing would be the Beautiful Reflections Jewelry Box from Personalization Mall.
The Beautiful Reflections Personalized Jewelry Box features your daughter’s first name delicately engraved into the glass lid in an elegant, script letter style creating an impressive and feminine keepsake that she will treasure through the years.
Glistening beveled glass is set within shimmering silver-plate. Measures a generous 3″L x 3″W x 2 1/4″H and features beveled glass panels on all sides with braided silver-plate trim accent; top hinged lid and attractive rounded metal feet.
Create a beautiful reflection of her and you!
