Sweet Surprise in the Mail

Very unexpected, but wonderful surprise was in the mail for me and my husband on Saturday. I found a beautiful necklace with a picture of Jacob on it and a wonderful poem with it. I have been wearing this necklace everywhere every since. We don't know who sent us the necklace or the poem, but we love it.
