“My dog was my best friend. Big, strong, always by my side. When he passed, I couldn’t just forget him, you know? So I made this bracelet, it was his collar. I made it with my own hands. I couldn’t let it go. Every day, I wear it, and I think of him. Every time I see it, I remember his loyalty, his love. That’s the thing—it’s not just a bracelet, it’s a piece of him. I carry him with me everywhere. Sometimes, I’ll catch myself looking at it, just for a second, and I can see him, feel him. People ask me, 'Why do you wear that?' And I tell them—it’s not just a bracelet. It’s memories. It’s love. You don’t forget those who give you love like that. Every piece of work I do, I put a little bit of that in there. This shop, the music, the silver—it’s all part of me, part of who I am. And I carry that with me, like I carry him.”
