I went to the casino today and heard a noise I haven't heard in many many years. Ya know how you hear something and it triggers a memory?
My mom used to wear a charm bracelet. This wasn't your regular ole charm bracelet it was a gold bracelet with huge charms all over it. She only wore it on very special occasions. It made a distinctive noise when she would move her hand and I heard it today. I looked around expecting my mom to be there wearing the bracelet but she wasn't there. She doesn't even have the bracelet anymore. Someone broke into our house and took a few charms.
I told my mom I heard her charm bracelet jingling today. She misses that bracelet. My dad bought it for her for $50.00 and each charm meant something. Today that bracelet would be worth a pretty penny.
I have the bracelet in my drawer minus the charms. I hate gold jewelery but I think I'll put it on anyway because it brings back fond memories of dressing up all fancy and going somewhere cool.

Oh, wow. That post gave me chills. I have the same memories of that bracelet. There were charms for each of us from our dad when we were born and other charms, too, which I don't know the significance of. It was an incredibly beautiful bracelet and I've never seen anything like it since. The charms were huge and gold and gorgeous! Someone stole those charms? What a huge shame. That is irreplaceable.
