Extra Special Christmas Gift

So, I never really feel that any one of my gifts are better than the other, I love them all. But my mom really out did herself, and I must say that it's worth commenting about. (and for those of you that know me, know that I usually don't toot my own horn!)

Here is what my christmas gift was (to me and my sisters):

It all starts with this poem:

Roses are red, Violets are blue

I truly do love the 3 of you!

Tis the season of love and the season of caring.

This year I'm drawn to the season of sharing

Several years ago my mom gave me a ring

So sad but such a beautiful thing

I wore it with pride but always a reminder of the week she died

I do not wish that memory for the three of you

So I have divided the ring as best I could

And made each of the women in my life her own memory

Today while I'm happy and life is still fun I am sharing mom's ring

Such a beautiful thing

I really think mom would approve, since she loved you too

Wear them with pride and I'll be so glad to share,

almost like a big hug from mom and me around the three of you

One more thought before we all cry, Please try to keep

the stones in the family and future generations will share

the gift of love

That started with a gift to share.

What my mom gave us was a beautiful ring that has a stone from my grandmother's ring.... I think at that point, my sisters and I were in tears, and really didn't know what to say. I miss my grandmother so, and now have her even closer to me at all times.

This was such a touching and loving christmas.
