JOURNALING SAYS:
A few months ago Lydia decided that she was going to buy her Mommy and Daddy presents. So Rick took her to the store so that she could pick something out for me. She saw this necklace and earrings and she decided that that was what she wanted to buy me. She used her own money to pay for the gifts even though she doesnt have that much in her account. She wrapped the gifts herself and was very proud and happy to give them to me. The jewelry is real sterling silver and green peridot. Whats interesting is that green peridot is Lydias birthstone. Without her realizing it, she had bought me jewelry with her birthstone. I will always treasure this jewelry because it is the first gift my daughter ever picked out and purchased for me with her own money and it is her birthstone, so its like wearing a little part of her every time I wear it.
