FOR S - FROM S

My brother got me an Alex and Ani bracelet for Christmas... 
He got me a charm I already had , an S - my/his/our initial 
 It was no big deal, I felt bad, but he apologized I said it's all good! 
I just hoped he had the receipt...
(this particular retailer he shopped from is a pain in the ass!)
He returned it and got the merchandise credit for me. 

On Saturday 1/ 4, I went to the store and worked with one of the girls there,
we kept pulling everything! With 1 full tray of bracelets 
( mind you, I had a wish list of 10+ long on the website)
 I didn't like a single one of them, even when I tried them on.
I figured I shouldn't settle and I'd save the credit for a later date. 

I typically find that I encounter poetic moments, coincidences and signs.

It may not be for you but I am so glad I know what I feel in my heart... 
I know what I've always experienced and how it's comforts me. 

So in the wake of my brothers passing, 
I took it with much joy and a lot of gratitude 
that I never used that credit on a bracelet just because. 
I waited to use it and just the other day 
I went and got my brothers birthstone...
Now the gift FROM him is now FOR him
