John was leafing through magazines trying to decide which necklace to get his wife for mother's day when his 3 year old son toddled over.
"Hey Dick, which necklace should we get mommy?" John asked. He showed Dick pictures of the necklaces, but Dick wasn't interested in any of them when his eyes fell on a simple little gold heart with a diamond, but to Dick it was beautiful.
"That one?" John asked, "Ok, good choice."
The next day when Dick's mother got up she smiled when she saw the necklace.
"Dick chose it for you." John said. Mary smiled and put the necklace on.
10 years later:
Dick looked at the necklace that he kept on his bed side table. Every mother's day he'd think back to the day he gave it to his mother and the day he swore that he'd never let anything happen to it. But even so this mother's day he was certain that he had found another girl who he trusted with his mother's necklace as much as he trusted himself with it.
"Ok, I can do this." Dick said as he reached for the original box that the necklace came in and slowly made his way outside. He walked to the house next door and up to the front door. The 13 year old thought over his decision one more time then knocked. Vanessa came to the door and smiled.
"Hey Dick, what's up?" she said happily.
"Here, I know I can trust you with this and more importantly, I want you to have it." Dick said in response. He gave Vanessa the box, who looked in amazement when she saw what was inside.
"Your mother's necklace?" She asked, she knew Dick cherished it.
"You'll be a mother too someday, and again I knew I could trust you with it." Dick answered.
"Are you sure you want me to have it?" Vanessa asked. To answer, Dick slowly picked up the necklace and put it around Vanessa's neck.
"Yes, I'm certain." Dick answered. It took him three days when he finally convinced Vanessa to put the necklace on and leave it on; so far she rarely takes it off.
Ok guys, I know I haven't updated in a while but my computer crashed so I'm typing on another one today. The necklace idea, I got it while talking with my buds and actually looking at necklaces. THANKS FOR READING! Happy mother's day!
