On my mom's side of the family, all of the women have a gold ladybug necklace. It's just a ladybug on a gold chain. But everyone has one. My aunt, my mom, and my cousin wear theirs all of the time, and my omi did as well. I'm not really a huge jewelery wearer in general, so I don't wear mine all that often. And it hangs a bit too long, so the ladybug sits right in my cleve. Last week I thought I hadn't seen it for a while, but I was trying to go to sleep, so didn't look. Last night I decided to wear it out.
I couldn't find it. This necklace is basically a family heirloom. I was going to wear it on my wedding. And now I have no idea where it is, or what has happened to it. I can't even remember where I last saw it. The last time I remember wearing it was in the winter. I remember it being on my dresser, in my hair tie container, in my jewelery box. I've literally looked everywhere in my apartment. And I told my mom and they don't remember seeing it in their house prior to them being robbed.
It's gone. And my heart is a bit broken.
