So we all, or at least most of us, have talismans that remind us of our loved ones.
Besides my ring, which I am still wearing, I have a bracelet made out of boot bands, rhyolite, and tiger jasper, which I have worn all the time since the Wolf and I started dating again. I only take it off to change the bands when they start to break down; and I changed them from olive to tan when he actually deployed.
I also have his Afghan Mission t-shirt, which I sleep in if I am really missing him (like tonight).
If I am at home and feeling particularly sucky, I have a big pair of grey army socks I wear. And a CH-47F (Chinook) mug I can make tea or hot chocolate in.
If I am needy and going out, I wear the silver-blue pashmina he bought me on bloc leave. If I am particularly needy, I don't care if what else I'm wearing compliments it or not.
At work, i have my *special* tea mug he bought me, with the kanji for Love on it; and the green tea he brought me from India.
So many things that remind me of him, and give my heart a little smile, and a little tear, all at the same time.
