Before I left the house, I had damn near forgotten the most important article of all, my good luck charm. Only when I was heading out the door and getting ready to lock up the house did it dawn on me. I have never gone on a mission without it, not since my mother passed away. I call it my good luck charm, but it’s really my mother's angel pendant - a small angel necklace with a white diamond in the middle. My dad had given it to her in the hospital after giving birth to me. Growing up, my mother never took the thing off. She even wore it into my adulthood¸ saying it had always reminded her to pray for me every day, especially when I was away on overseas military missions. Before she passed away, she wanted me to have it. I wanted to bury her with it, because it only seemed right, but she insisted I take it. She was always sentimental that way. I shake my head at the fond memory, recalling the day she placed the pendant in my hand. She told me to keep it as a reminder that she would always be watching over me, and that one day it would be replaced by a true living angel.
