A Jade necklace for my long-lost son. I gave him up at birth, because I was just a kid myself. On his birth certificate I named him John Anthony Davidson (my brother and fathers names) so he could find his way back to me one day. But I called him Jade all these years. I finally reached out on Facebook to find him and we were reunited on 11-12-13. His name had been changed, of course, by his adoptive parents, but I told him about his 'other' name. my mother has the name 'Jade' on an ornament with her other grandchildren's names that has hung on her tree for years. My son and I had our first Christmas together and I gave him the Jade necklace.
In China, it is believed Jade protects the wearer. The initials worked out (almost) to JADE. I believe the name did protect him, as he's been in three war zones, and came back intact. He's 26 and brave and full of strength... And the necklace description on Amazon says it represents strength, healing and comfort.
