I want to share this very special necklace I’ve had made. It holds a photo of my beautiful son, Luke, along with blue crystals created from a small amount of his ashes that I had kept, just in case I ever wanted something like this made.
In the days after losing him, making decisions felt impossible, so I held on to them until the time felt right. It’s taken a long time to realise that having treasured keepsakes of Luke doesn’t mean I’m holding on to the past. It means I can carry him with me into the future.
I’m beginning to understand that I haven’t left him behind. I take him with me every day—in my heart, in the memories we shared, in the stories I tell, and now in this beautiful necklace.

Hello, that is just so beautiful 
, and what a lovely way to honor your sons memory.. I love how you said, you’re not leaving him behind, hes with you. That’s how I felt with my husband, I take pictures of our grandchildren and i send them to my husbands phone because I don’t want him to miss anything. Or I write in my journal. Thank you for sharing that, its remarkably beautiful.
