Several years ago, my kids got together and bought me this bracelet. At the time it had 5 discs on it for my 5 grandchildren. Since then, the family has grown and so has my bracelet. I now have 8 discs with the names of my 8 grandchildren on them. The kids say the are done (!) but we've heard that before. We'll see! :-)
The names on my bracelet are as follows (with their ages as of today):
Gregory - 14 years old
Alex - 11 years old
Matthew - 7 years old
Bryce - 6 years old
Kate - 5 years old
Brynn - 2 years old
Chase - 5 months old
Mason -6 weeks old
This bracelet is absolutely one of the best presents I've ever gotten in my life. What in incredibly thoughtful gift! I rarely leave the house without it.
And what makes it even better (if that's possible) - it reminds me of my grandmother (my mother's mother). Gram had a silver grandmother's bracelet, too - with the names of her grandchildren on discs - very much like mine (but not quite as fancy).
Gram used to move her hands back and forth (with her palms facing forward and her fingers pointed up) and shake her bracelet when she talked - like she enjoyed the sound of tinkling charms. There are days that I wish I could shake my bracelet and channel some of her kindness and grace.
ANYWAY... my thanks again to my kids (which includes daughters-in-law, of course) for this gift of love that I carry with me daily.
