A birthday present from mom I will never forget. As my lips began
to curve, from the small box being handed to me by my mother she said, “I think you’re really going to like this one.”

As I opened the box, I was surprised to see this these shining pieces of metal liked together, but I couldn’t love it anymore. It had a pendent and I didn’t know what it meant a first, but the extremely dark red stone was
beautiful. I wish I still had it. 9 and a half years later who knew it would be violently snatched from my neck, with whom it was always with except during sleep. But left behind was not my precious stone, but a few of the metal links that still shimmered as though I had just gotten it that very day. Though, my old friend was replaced, it’s not the same, but it still feels good to know I still have them, even if it isn’t as close to my heart as it once was.
