One of the greatest gifts that I ever received was an angel pin from my
grandmother. It was the Christmas of 1993 when she gave it to me, twelve months after
my aunt had died. To me, the pin represented my aunt watching over me and my family. I

Sadly, during the middle of the year, I lost the pin. I was very angry at myself for losing
the pin. Every time I looked at it, it was a reminder of my aunt and grandmother. I almost
felt as if I lost them all over again.
