Somthing Special

Day 26: A picture of something that means a lot to me

This necklace sometimes creeps my friends out but it's really special to me. This necklace is my peepaw's thumb print. After he passed away my mom, aunt and grandmother all got them but I wasn't ready to have one. I would wear my mom's whenever I would sing at church or whenever something big was happening in my life or just on random Sunday's when I would be home and she wasn't wearing it. For my 20th birthday I got my very own! I'm rarely seen without this around my neck. I wear it on days I look my worst or on days I'm going somewhere important. Its like having a piece of him with me wherever I go. Sometimes we wonder if its really his thumbprint or if its just a joke the funeral home plays on families. We have compared all of ours and they look identical. They also look different from other people's who have these so as far as I'm concerned its a little bit of him still with me wherever I go!

So, whether you think this is really creepy, really cool or just an interesting piece of jewelry its a part of my daily wardrobe and it means a lot. It's my good luck charm :)
