The Patron Saint of the Under Appreciated
Last Christmas, one of my friends gave me a necklace of The Patron Saint of the Under Appreciated. On the front is a matronly woman and on the back it says, "This kindly saint watches over all who deserve more credit and are constantly overlooked by family, peers and employers". Recently, I passed that necklace on to Alma on one of the days when she seemed particularly down. Since then, she hasn't taken it off. She loves to read the back to me and laugh at the ironic truth of what it symbolizes. I have to agree that from what Alma has shared with me, I gather that she has been incredibly underappreciated at many times in her life.
