Two together
Today is the 85th birthday of my remarkable mother-in-law, Marian, who has taught me so much in the close to 30 years (well, 29 years and 3 months) since we met in the fall of 1981. With kindness, laughter, and patience, she has welcomed each new arrival into her growing family and made each of us feel that we are loved and valued.
Today I wore this lovely pair of silver earrings that Marian gave me a few years ago, along with the scarf she gave me this Christmas. Today is 2/2, which suits these 2 earrings with their 2 orbs each. This date has always seemed like a perfect one for Marian. Whoever she is with, family member, friend, or stranger, she seeks to share of herself and to create a common bond. Two, together, is where she finds her joy and where she has brought joy to many lives.

Thank you, Amy. You have such a gift with words.
I have to remember to show this to Mom when I am visiting my folks this weekend. When I talked to her on the phone she said that she is overwhelmed with all the wonderful sentiments expressed to her and to Dad this week.
This is beautiful!
Well said!
Nice post. I have the same earrings and I wear them all the time. They're versatile. Since I'm starting moon journals this week, they remind me of the theory that the moon separated itself from the earth. . .
