Not sure where to begin. When I turned 9 years old, I remember coming home from school very excited for my birthday (not sure why, considering my home life) and as it turned out no one remembered it was my special day, the day was turning into night and I was on the side of my home crying....

The little old lady next door to us came over sat beside me, she remembered my bday- she gave me this strand of pearls, they were off-white, oddly shaped, with six round black ones, said they been around a long time, but she knew that they would be treasured always by me- she was right...

After that i shuffled homes and landed in TN in the 80's clasp broke because I was used as a nanny in my next home, so not sure if its different then original.....the old lady was a full blooded Indian, I know bc of her stories and the Neighbors called her animal lady, wild animals came to eat from her hands...
