A gold bracelet given by my Aunt

This gold bracelet is important to me because it was given to me by my aunt, whose name is also Ingrid. It is not just any typical bracelet with a name written on it, because it serves as a family love connection my aunt has to me. I was named after her because my mom and her are close sisters. She was there for me when I needed motivation, simple life speeches and when my mom and I needed help after arriving in the US. Upon my arrival to the US in 2006 she gave me this bracelet as a means of always remembering she was there for me no matter what. I don't wear the bracelet because I am scared I might lose it.
