Opal, Latin for ‘opalus’ means precious jewel.

Hi –

I was at an art show this weekend and more than once I was complimented on your opal. How it was the biggest some people had ever seen, or how it was the most clear others had seen. It’s a very surreal moment.

Someone compliments me, and my response is always; ‘Thank you, it was my mom’s.’ I then zone out of the conversation and spend the rest of the time wondering if they think you passed it onto me in a mother daughter moment we shared. Or if they realize its because you are no longer here, and now its mine.

I always wonder what goes through someone’s mind. If they know what ‘it was my mom’s’ really means.

Love you forever, miss you always
