I had to share this.
A good friend of mine has always liked what she calls rocks with character. She does not know the names of many rocks, but loves them.
Her son suddenly passed away two years ago. He was her rock buddy. He loved rocks and liked his Mom's selections.
Her and I communicate and see each other often. I have sent and given her various rocks and jewelry. She is has a shrine to her son in her yard, filled with rocks, many which they found together.
I saw her today. Brought a piece of Dallasite I had tumbled and a rough Apache Tear. She liked my description of Apache Tears which I shared on Facebook.
I gave her the Dallasite first. Explained where it came from. She was in awe. Said it definitely had a lot of character. Hugged me. Asked how I was able to know the names of specific rocks and where they came from? What they were composed of? How they were formed? Told her that. Mentioned that I get a lot of help and have learned a lot through this forum.
Then gave her the rough Apache Tear. She broke down, crying. Another hug. It took her a few minutes to recover. She said she could never repay me for all the rocks I have given her. My Facebook posts of rock photos.
We then had to get to the business at hand, which was going through some donations I had received for the Veterans home new handicraft class she is starting. The donations were in the back of my car. On top of the latest counter scraps I had gotten. She saw them. Said they were beautiful. I gave her a 6" x 6" piece, perfectly square. She said her son's photo will now rest on that. Another hig and many thanks.
One never knows how much giving another a rock will touch their life. I had to maintain my composure at the time, but when I got home, I too broke down. Realizing how much these 2 rocks and the counter scrap meant to my good friend. To me it was just a way to brighten her day. I had no idea just how much.
