charm bracelet

My Grandmother has had a collection of fun trinkets for as long as I can remember. I can say that without a doubt, my most prized possession of hers was her charm bracelet. I used to love sitting with her and hearing the stories for each of the charms on it. She told me that she was given her charm bracelet from my great grand father when she was ten years old. I had always coveted her bracelet and wished that I had one just like it.

When my first child was born, my grandmother came to visit. She was so excited because our son was the first grand and great grand child in the family. He was also the first boy since my twenty-eight year old cousin was born. The night that grandma arrived, she gave me a little box to open. Inside of it was her charm bracelet! I could not believe it and I was very moved. I love that she gave me her special bracelet and maybe one day, I will have a daughter or granddaughter to pass it down to.
