A Moment of Silence

June 28, 2015

My loving father passed on to heaven on Saturday, June 27, 2015.  He is no longer in pain nor suffering the emotional trauma of losing his wife of 49 1/2 years back in 2012.  There is comfort in knowing that they are back together again.  Therefore I am taking a moment of silence here on my blog to mourn the profound loss of my dad and grieve properly.  I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers.  I’ll be back in a few days.  My advice for now is to go hug your loved ones and tell them how much they mean to you.  Life is precious and every day is a gift!

A moment of silence for my dad

    Stacie, I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to you. I’m happy that he is no longer suffering and is reunited with your Mom now but I also know how your heart is going to grieve. If you need to talk or vent or scream, remember I know what you are going through and I’m here for you.

Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorit Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorite because of the meaning behind it. This necklace from @haverhill checks all the boxes and then some! It’s meant to be passed down between generations.

It’s all handcrafted with solid 14K gold and gemstones. Everything is ethically sourced and sustainably made right here in the USA.

 I chose a necklace with 2 initials with 2 gemstones (mine and my husband’s initials). I love that I can wear it without worrying about it tarnishing because of the high quality materials that it’s made with. I almost never take it off.

Be sure to visit their website (haverhill.com) if you’re looking for meaningful jewelry items for yourself or someone you love.

This one’s from Lysse NY and it’s soft, comfortable and machine washable. I love that they put a tummy tucking panel in the waist area for a slimming effect.

Available in regular and curvy sizes.
