Story pending

By the time I was around 3-5 months old, my mom saved up a lot of money so she could buy a small cross necklace for me. The gold necklace is worth around 350-380 around the time, saving that amount of money in Queens she could've bought a bracelet for half of the price and gotten one for herself too. She's always in the role of putting me and my sister first in many ways so we can get and give the amount of thanks towards my mother and the amount of acts she's done for us. She always told me the story of how the necklace is so special because before she couldn't afford a bigger cross that the necklace had for the future since I received it at a young age. To this day I'm still wearing it showing how my mother worked hard to put me first and get something so expensive for me when I was little. Showed her care of love towards me when we were struggling to live in a place and for her to put herself first and me at the same time, finding a way to balance things out but her role and every mother’s role is to put their kids first and to show how valuable are kids in there life and what made them become a parent in the beginning.
