Last week, I jumped online to buy a Mother's Day gift, and stumbled across the perfect thing. A keychain for my mother in law that says "Thank you for raising the man of my dreams". While I was ordering I got my father and father in law both a rearview mirror charm with "Thank you for raising the man of my dreams" and "Thank you for raising the woman of my dreams". I was so excited to knock out 3 gifts and even found a beautiful necklace for my mom that says "Love between a mother and daughter is forever". So I'm set for Mother's Day and Father's day. This year was easier than any year before and I've even got their Christmas gifts picked out from Southern Stamped Jewelry, as well. Whew! That's a relief.
While I was clicking through I came across the SSJ Memorial Collection. I'm ashamed to say, I sometimes forget that Father's Day isn't an easy holiday for everyone. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have to still have their dad and their father in law to give a gift to. I have a friend who recently lost her dad, and I know how hard that loss has been for her. While Father's Day is a sweet holiday to honor my dad, it's a reminder of the loss that broke her heart.
I started clicking through the selection of memorial jewelry and found so many gorgeous pieces. They hand stamped sayings really spoke to my heart, and I knew that having such a beautiful keepsake would make Father's Day just a little easier for her. I chose a stamped piece that says "I used to be his angel now he's mine" with an additional stamped piece that says "Daddy's Girl". I contacted Southern Stamped Jewelry and they added a stamped piece personalized with her dad's name and birth and death dates, as well as his birthstone bead and 3 gorgeous charms customized to this special order. The whole process was so easy and truly meaningful.
I hope she finds comfort in knowing her dad is always close to her heart and can wear this every single day as a reminder of how much he loved her. I'm so thankful for a company that offers so many options to make Father's day special no matter what it means to you.
