I have become more and more aware of how precious tradition can be to the story of a family. As such, I've got a few traditions I started when Cordelia was born; things I want to do for my grandchildren.
As I mentioned before, one thing I want to do is give each child some piece of jewelry that is mine but that they will inherit someday. It doesn't need to be an expensive piece of jewelry. I just wanted something that they see me wear, see in photos from the day of their birth, and something that represents what is important in my life. I chose a ring with a cross on it for Cordelia's birth.
I made certain that I was photographed, holding newborn Cordy, with the ring in view. I wear it frequently so that someday, when it is her's, she will remember it being mine.
This is what I have chosen for this next baby girl:
