At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Red Jasper was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
He was in the hospital for bypass heart surgery when his Dad came to see him. Dad died back in the 80s, so it was a surprise to have him standing in the hospital room, wearing scrubs and smiling at his son. He’s never visited before. But it wasn’t a dream. It wasn’t a near-death experience. His Dad was just there. They smiled at each other, no words were spoken, no hand reached out. There was simply a smile of love and encourage between a father and his son.
His wife never met her father-in-law, but she’s heard all about him. Her husband always speaks with pride and admiration whenever stories about Dad comes up in conversation. They were very close and they’re a lot alike. His Dad modeled the kind of care and commitment that a good man brings to every relationship. His Dad showed him how to treat a woman, a child, a friend, and even strangers with kindness and respect. He grew up following his Dad’s example and so grew up into a good man.
