Moon Memories of Mother's Day! :)

When I graduated from college 40 years ago, I flew 4,000 miles to Alaska for my summer job. Since we figured it would be far too expensive to talk, Mom and I sent messages "off the moon" for those three months. We figured it's the SAME moon over both of us, so when we missed each other, we just noticed it more. It was quite a rite of passage for me and a wonderful adventure. Owl Moon Meadow was an awesome children's book and is the name of our property. Goodnight Moon was a favorite nightly ritual reading as Adam and Sydney were growing up, and when Sydney went to Australia at age 15 for a semester, we also sent messages "off the moon" (plus through the internet!!).  So, as you can see, the moon is very special to me.  When I got this gorgeous Mother's Day MOON necklace today from Sydney,  I just smiled all over. Tucked inside the beautiful brass locket is a little crescent moon with an M carved on it.  It's such a perfect symbol for our relationship - plus cool pens which we both love. :) Thank you dearie, for this thoughtful reminder of great love.
