Something that means so much to me is this necklace. My mom gave it to me a couple days before my tenth birthday. I remember asking her why she was giving me a present before my birthday and she said because she wasn’t going to be able to be there on my birthday. I was so upset. She tried to explain that she needed to go on a business trip and they couldn’t cancel it. At the time I was so mad at her. I just didn’t understand at that moment. When my birthday came and she wasn’t there my anger disappeared and I became sad. All I remember was this necklace making me feel better. I held it tightly around my neck and though of her and how much she wanted to be there. This necklace I always keep with me because it always reminds me of my mom when she isn’t there and that is why it is so special to me. I really enjoyed taking photos of this because it means so much to me but I did have trouble with the chain. I didn’t know how to lay it down but after lots of trial and error I found it looks the best when you just drop it and make it look natural.
