This last week has been a very sad one for my community. Last Monday we all watched and waited for the good word that 7-yr old Somer would be found after having not returned home from school. Sadly, we learned that her little body had been found on Wednesday. I watched as her momma's world was shattered into pieces, not being able to fathom an ounce of what she was feeling. I've watched my small community where I've lived for the past 30 yrs, come together in a way I have never seen. People coming out to help a stranger, doing whatever they can in any small way. They just want to help carry this burden of this mom and let her know that she's not alone.
I created this necklace and tile for Diena, Somer's mom. "You are my sunshine" has been reported as one of Somer's favorite songs and how appropriate to have it with her shining face to remember her by.
I'll be dropping this off later tonight along with a note written on the back of the tile. I want Somer's mom to know she's been on my heart all week and that I admire her strength and I am so terribly sorry...
