Nothing will turn you patriotic like a child entering the military. Sure, I’ve always loved America, her freedom, and history. The Star Spangled Banner? Always adored it and the feeling of pride it brings. But when your kid enters boot camp after living at home their whole life, ready to serve the country and go where told, you embark on a whole new journey of what it means to be proud to be an American. You learn about the branch of the military, it’s specialties, and missions. You wear the gear and brag shamelessly to friends and family. And hardest of all, you learn to let go.
How does this translate into jewelry? I have year-round pieces that are simple ways to show support and American pride. Red, white, and blue never go out of style.
I know I’m just one of many moms on this hard but wonderful path.
It’s been two long years since we’ve seen you.
You’re in our prayers and conversations every day.
This one’s for you, kid.
