I made this mix CD for my wife the same year our first son was born. Our younger son found it and played it in his “new” boom box today.
Mary wore the quartz on a necklace and I’ve had this shard in my pocket for a couple days.
Her little things are all around us. The stories and feelings they carry visit us often.
We’ve been blessed by a wave of happy memories. In our fifth year of missing her, the recollections get sweeter. She is always with us.
