From: The United States but currently living in Okinawa, Japan

As a military family stationed in Okinawa, Japan, Teresa and her family embarked on an adventure that required leaving their homeland behind.

Teresa's necklace, a gift from her loving husband and boys on Mother's Day, holds great meaning within its delicate charms. Each letter represents a cherished family member. The "L" symbolizes her beloved husband, the "K" her step-son, the "T" Teresa herself, and the "C" her son who remains stateside.

While her son remains in the States, the heart charm on her necklace serves as a powerful reminder that love knows no boundaries. No matter the distance that separates Teresa and her son, their hearts remain firmly connected.

If Teresa were to pick out an additional charm for our collection, she would choose an airplane charm. The symbol of an airplane would be a testament to their unique journey as a military family and the resilience they exhibit as they navigate life's challenges together.

Her necklace is a tangible embodiment of love, family, and unwavering connection. Through the distance that separates them, Teresa and her family carry one another in their hearts. 

In Teresa’s own words, “It is truly the perfect piece that will become a treasured heirloom to pass on.”

Thank you, Teresa, for sharing your remarkable story, and may your necklace continue to be a source of love for generations to come.
