always and forever...

I told you a few weeks ago that I had remembrance bracelets made in your honor. They read~Remember Pat and Jerome (front) always and forever (back). I gave them to Family and my close Friends. There were multiple meanings to this bracelet. Of course to remember you but to also have something for people to slip on when they are having a bad day. To remember what life is truly about and how quickly it can end. And most importantly I wanted people to "live" when wearing these bracelets as living fully is what you both stood for.


I need to order another 50 of these or so as I want to be sure more of your Family and Friends can have one. I feel it is my responsibility now to instill in others the importance of life, because it simply goes way too fast and when your least expecting it, the most special people can be taken away in an instant. I have first handle knowledge of this.

Whether it's a bracelet, a picture, or hearing your laughter in the breeze....you will always be remembered. Always and forever.

Mel-I love that you made rememberance bracelets for family and friends. Living in the moment, and enjoying life are 2 qualities that you have always had-and I have always admired that in you. I keep the bracelet on my dresser, so I see it every day. It reminds me that every moment is precious.

Looking forward to your next post....

Love,

Nicky
