| LIAM WEARS MY LEGACY AS AN EAR-RING |
I had some surprising news. My friend, Barb, who passed away unexpectedly Dec 1st, left me her birthstone ring in her will.
I was notified August 1
Start of our birthday month!.
And serendipity! Just in time for my birthday.
Received a document from her estate to be notarized
If you look under "a"
You will see birthstone ring
We shared the same August birthstone- the green semiprecious peridot
know anything about The peridot?
A friend sent this along
surely enhanced its preciousness for me
Traces of peridot are found in volcanic ash and Hawaiians believe they are the tears of the volcano goddess, Pele...
tears of a goddess!

Despite such whimsical stories
Barb still hated the peridot.
In fact it may have brought her to volcanic
tears.
I love it
Was a running joke for years that had her mother waited another half hour she could have had the precious sapphire
Her bday is 8/31...she was born 11:30 pm
So close
So close
On Thursday August 2, the day after receiving the notification, I sent off the notarized document. By doing what was legally required I trusted I had to set the ring on its journey to me.
Would it have a chance to reach me before my birthday on Thursday August 9th?
YES
My inheritance arrived August 7th
My dear friend Barb made it happen
This birthday would have been my first birthday without Barb.
But it is not
I have her birthstone ring
she is here
we celebrated our birthdays jointly each year.
This year I will again and wear her ring and toast to an unforgettable friendship

I am astounded. It is from Cartier.
Rubies on the side.
Very Large
Cannot be sized
Will wear on a chain.
It is kinda a chameleon
Changes colors
I am pleased and touched she left me her ring.
I have something personal.
