Today my husband gave me a present....
I found a turquoise cabochon from Kingman, Arizona on an online shop and sent away for it. My Love made me the most beautiful bracelet to embrace the stone that now sits on my wrist for our anniversary. He is studying to be a metal smith so he crafted it as one of his first projects. I love it with all my heart and the bracelet will now reside on my wrist for the rest of my days.
Kingman is where we spent one night the first week of our first date. It was hot, dry and dusty as we waited for a train to take us to California. I sat between his legs at the train station watching the night roll by, wondering if he'd be back to see me again after we would depart from each other two days later. Him to Australia, me back to Wisconsin. I remember hugging his legs wondering if he knew how special he was to me. Thoughts could not be put into words that evening and instead I embraced hope and held tight to belief.
I love him more every single day.
