Gina Hubby bought me a very expensive pearl necklace many years ago. It was to go with engagement ring and matching earrings.
Nothing political about this, he wanted me to have something symbolic from him as he came from the sea as did the pearls. He was on a Sub and when away wanted me to remember him and understand that I was his wife but his mistress was the sea. Very romantic , back then, kept me home waiting for him.
That hubby has been long gone due to death, but at times I will put on the necklace to remember the good times. The rush of emotions, the tears of watching him depart and the joy of meeting him on the dock when he arrived safe and sound.
