At times we all can use a little protection. I know many that carry something as a reminder that Creator looks over them as they walk through their day. Myself, I was given a small angel that was embroidered by a close friend. I believe she is an angel by her own right; but this post is not about me; rather, it is about someone else's angel.
I do love a good challenge, and this piece was quickly becoming the most intensive engraving job I will have completed to date! We talked of her favorite colors and her favorite number as to include these ideas into her charm of protection.

Gifted with sentiments of a loving husband to his beautiful Angel.

And in the end, beyond a project from school, my lesson of patience with my son to develop his own story was but just one part of my little moment with my son as he grows one day older. Perhaps a little moment that he will never forget, and one I will grow a little wiser from. I love you Lyrik.
