Love Tokens

"Whenever I am sick, or feeling grey, he would bring me a cat to hug and to cuddle, and with this demonstration, he would remind me of love.
When we were young and standing under our tree, he had agreed to everything with no fear, no hesitation, and the most quiet of smiles..."

This painting is about the charm and the rings on the cord around my neck and what they mean to me.  I think many people have special tokens they carry and wear to remind them of good things and better memories.  It is part of our humanity, these little objects we put meaning into.
