Words cannot quite fully express my feelings when opening this gift.

I received a beautiful HUGE salt rock lamp and one of my most favorite Harry Potter quotes! I will be framing the quote very soon and this lamp will be in my home.

The reason this gift means so much to me is because I lost a very dear friend, Jon, almost a year ago and have been thinking a lot about him lately. I miss him dearly. He was one of the most amazing men I have ever known. A couple of weeks before his death, he gave me a huge salt rock lamp that I absolutely cherish and turn on every day I come to work. It sits right on my desk. We also shared a love of Harry Potter. I will think of Jon every time I look at these items.

I gave Jon a card one day for no reason that said on the front - Be the light. I wrote on the back of the card to him - “Jon, you are the light.” I found the card taped to his desk after He passed. He was such an amazing man.

I believe everything happens for a reason. This gift gave me all the chills and a feeling that he is still with me even though he isn’t physically here.

Santa, whoever you are out there, you have an amazing gift for gift-giving and I will cherish these items for the rest of my life. I can only send you a BIG thank you for your kind heart and the absolutely beautiful gifts you have given me and reminded me of. Thank you.
