Birthday Memento
My brother and sister-in-law sent me a box of memories for my birthday this year. I pulled this out and couldn't quite figure it out. It's my mom's first initial and her last name.
I asked my friend Wanda about it since she's worked in hospitals for a long time.
Wanda: "What color is it?"
Me: "Pink and white"
Wanda: "Is it big or small?"
Me: "Very small"
Wanda: "It's the bracelet they put on you in the nursery so they'd know you belong to your mommy".
Wow. I have to admit that gave me goosebumps and made me tear up over the significance of it. My mother passed away a number of years ago so I'm so grateful to have this special tangible memento.

That is so much nicer than the hospital bands we use now.
