I am my mother's only child, born when she was 22. Only after three years, my father's death threw this family into the most difficult time. My mother had to go to back to work to support the family, and most importantly to give me good education. Mother always put my happiness in the first place. And I did make her proud in the following years until my unsuccessful marriage.

After my graduation, I successfully got a decent job in New York City which is far away from the city my mother living in - San Francisco. But I did like this job and believed this was the perfect start point of my career. Even though Mom missed me a lot, she just held her emotion and respected my choice. After 5 years hard work, I found my place in this big city and got my own family. This could have been the beautiful time of my life except that suddenly my husband insisted a seemed-no-reason divorce. I was shocked. Nothing worked to restore this relationship, so I just let him go.

I became desperate and began to get doubted about myself. I realized that I wasn't as strong as I always believed. I wasn't capable of everything. The situation became even worse when I was told that I had been pregnant for 4 months only after 2 weeks of my divorce. I was such a workaholic that I had not been aware of my pregnancy for 4 months! My life became a tragedy.

With a broken heart, I flight back to San Fransico and had a very sad Christmas with mom. I told her I was going to give up the baby. Was it an ironic gift from my ex-husband? But mom thought I should keep it, so we had a very unhappy conversation on this matter. I got back to NY and still was still hesitating to keep the baby or not. After three days, I got a package which came from a company named ShecyPearls. When I opened it, a beautiful south sea pearl necklace was presented in front of me. Surrounded by its luster, I found there was also a card with printed words:

?New hopes bring new life! ??From the person who love you the most - Mom?

This was really a support to me. I knew mother's legs get painful every winter, so she wouldn't shop around. I kept asking her, and then she told me that this south sea was bought online.

?Honey, you know you are my pearl. Are you really going to give up your pearl?? mom's word really touched the softest part of my heart. On Easter day of 2007, I had my ?pearl?, my best Easter gift ? a baby girl. Easter day of 2009 is coming; I am going to order a for my best gift that mom gave.
