THE JOURNEY OF A SILVER LOCKET - Part 1

Part 1 of 5

Denmark, 1902.

A young man is preparing to leave his homeland for America. His mother knows she may never see him again. She has little to give him for his journey, but at the last moment, she makes a decision.

She had nothing to give Hans for his journey except her love, but at the last moment, almost as an afterthought, she took off her neck a small silver locket and chain.

“Take this Hans. Your father gave this to me the day we were married, and I have worn it every day since.”

She pressed it into his hand. A symbol of devotion that she wanted Hans to carry with him, not for luck, but for love.

A small gift. A mother’s love. And the beginning of a remarkable journey.
