A Keepsake

Jess brought me back a gift when she was in the Caribbean.  It is an angel made out of stone, and I love it.

Here is the back side of it.

There is a little story that goes along with the angel.  I will share it with you.

Jess took a day to go cascading

down waterfalls (there are 27

total, but she cascaded down 7).

After hiking up hill, they came to

the waterfalls and were able to

jump off the cliffs or slide down

the waterfalls (she slid down most

because she doesn't like heights).

The crevasses and aqua blue waters

looked like a secluded paradise,

and it was one of the most

beautiful natural sites she has seen.

After sliding down the waterfalls,

they could swim in the refreshing

pools of water to the next

waterfall.  The bottom of the pools

and streams were filled with stones

that were used to carve the angel.

On her way out, a man had a

table of sculptures for sale that

he had carved himself, and he

was actually in the process of

carving one.  They were all so

intricately designed, and he was

very talented.  When she saw the

table full of his hard work, and

the angel specifically, she

knew I would love it.

Thank you, Jess, for your gift.

Do you like angels as much as I do?
