I have been thinking about my granddaughter a lot lately. Probobly due to Christmas and all the celebrations I have missed. It got me thinking how I would love to buy her something for Christmas. But of course I can't as my daughter won't allow me to be in her life.
So I decided to buy her something special that she can remember me by. A sort of legacy piece of jewellery. I wanted it to be something that was Irish. Representing all 5 of us women that I have been talking about in my past few posts, My ancestors. The ones I am having inscribed on my headstone. I was so alone in life, I just want this line of women to know each other and be proud of our Irish heritage. And be together infinitly,....
So I got this 18 carot white gold diamond infinity necklace. I wanted it to be a classic piece of jewellery that will never go out of style. I wanted the best white gold,... and a real diamond. I want it to be something she could wear forever. And then pass on to her child. It's coming all the way from Ireland!
I actually got a matching one for myself, but it's not so grand. I got the 10 carot gold and a synthetic diamond instead so it was only half the price. I am not a jewellery person at all and I didn't feel I needed a special and expensive necklace for myself. For my granddaughter - no expense spared,... but for me just a "look-a-like" so that we will both have the same necklace.
I don't know when I can ever give it to her. It will probobly have to wait until I pass away and she reads the will and sees I have left it to her. Sad,... it's so pretty. I wished she could have it now. But I don't want to upset her parents at all. best to just put it away and keep it until she is an adult. Maybe even mail it to her on her 21st birthday or something. I'm not sure how she will get it yet,... but she will. And I hope she cherishes it just as I cherish her.
Maybe she'll wear it on her wedding day,....
I can't be with my precious granddaughter,... but I will never stop thinking about her,....
