As many of you know, Josh and I met online. We talked seriously for months and before that we knew each other for a few years. When we met in person for the first time, Josh came to America to see me. He brought me a present. A beautiful greenstone pendant in a little black box. It meant the world to me and I never took it off. I even wore it in the shower. It was my favourite thing ever and always reminded me of how much Josh cared about me. Sadly, a few years later I lost it. I couldn’t, for the life of me, remember what happened to it. Did I misplace it? Did it break? Did I lose it forever? I had given up hope of ever finding it again.

My mother was cleaning up the basement where Josh and I had lived for a while and she found it under some furniture. She had heard me mention it and how much it meant to me so she sent it over to me with a little note. This is one of the most awesome things to happen to me lately. I have worn it every day since.
That’s so sweet of her. I’m glad it brightened up your day :D
Oh, I’m so glad you got it back! I hope you never lose it again. :-)
Aww, that is so sweet of her! I’m glad you managed to get it back. It’s always sad to lose something that means a lot to you.
That is amazing!! What a wonderful way to start off a new year :) I’m glad you have it back. It is beautiful!
I’m so glad that I found your pendant and was able to make you so happy! ~ May you ALWAYS be this happy! ~ Love you! ~ Love, Mom xoxo
Aw, so cool! Now it has even more of a story for you – it has two stories of traveling across the world to you from people you love… :)
That is gorgeous! :) I’m so glad your mother found it again. <3 These kinds of things are definitely precious and must bring back some lovely memories.
Best wishes for you two and your future! <333
It’s a beautiful pendant, and when it has that much emotions attached to it, that makes it even more beautiful. I’m glad you got it back.
That’s so wonderful! And what a beautiful pendant too.
aw, I’m so glad you have it back :D it’s pretty too :D
Such a beautiful necklace, so glad it wasn’t lost forever!
Wow! That is such a fantastic thing to happen :) I’m sorry you lost it, but it’s AMAZING that your mom found it AND sent it to you! WOW :D
Yay for Caity’s mom for finding it and mailing it to NZ for you (it’s gorgeous). :D
Oh wow, that’s wonderful =). I’m really glad you have it back in your life now. I know what it’s like when you think you’ve lost something special and then you find it again in the most unlikely of places. Miracles do happen, haha!
Yay, I’m so glad your mom found it and you have it again! It’s so pretty and I’m sure it means so much to you.
Cool! I like it when things mysteriously turn up. D had lost his noise cancelling headphones and we found them in a suitcase.
Awww that is such a sweet story and I’m so glad you got it back.
oh thats brilliant, I’m glad you managed to get it back :)
I hate it when things mysteriously go missing! I’m glad you finally got it back though – I know a lot of people that have greenstone pendants that mean a lot to them (because it’s a NZ thing and everything). Personally I still can’t conceive as to where my dearest piece of jewellery went, but eck.
Aww yay for getting it back, what a lovely mum you have :)
Awesome Caity! I am so so thrilled for you! I hope you believe in signs, because this is one. so much more than what is on the surface, this token of josh’s love, this piece of what you two mean to each other, finding this souvenir, this keepsake, now, at this very moment, this new year, in this new land, this new stage on your life journey, a small reminder of the grand scope of things……
I’m so glad you got it back :D
Aw! That is SO awesome. My mum-in-law sent me a greenstone heart pendant necklace from New Zealand for Christmas last year. I love it.
I still find it so amusing that your story of Josh and you is so similar to Simon and me. Maybe some day we’ll move over to New Zealand and we can be American Kiwi wife buddies. ;)

Aw. This is so beautiful. I’m so glad it turned back up again. :) It’s such a pretty necklace.
THIS IS SO EXCITING CAITY!!! I’m so happy for you.
That is so awesome you got it back! I agree with Alexandra, this seems to be a sign. :)
That is sooo nice… well it also reminds me how I turned my house upside down for a folder. Thankfully I found it, but not looking forward to the cleaning I now need to do. :(
The necklace is lovely. You wanted something like that for Christmas, right? So I guess “Santa” listened to your wish, eh? ;)
I’m so happy that you have such a special piece of jewelry back! :)
Yay, Yay, Yay, Yay, Yay!!! That is just so awesome you got it back, or never really were without it, just misplaced. What a special thing to retrieve!!
whooo-hooo!!! I love it when things like that happen!
xoxo
Wow, that’s amazing! What are the odds? Good thing she noticed it and it didn’t end up in the vacuum cleaner or something.
It has a really pretty colour btw :)
How kind of your mother! I love jewelry, but I’ve never received jewelry with emotional significance…
I am so glad you found your greenstone. It’s gorgeous. I really love greenstone and I have two necklaces.
Awhh!! You two met online? That’s so cute. :)
The greenstone pendant is pretty, too. :D
