about the piece.
In Tina's words, "Losing our twins, Sophia & Ellie, affected our entire family. We all felt various emotions and wished things to be differently. Our daughter Emma, who was almost 5 at the time, was so very sad that she missed her opportunity to be a big sister. I reassured her that she is still a big sister but just in a special way. I wanted her to have something she could wear that announced that she is indeed a big sister, so I made this necklace that she so proudly displays around her neck. (And I must say that I think she is one of the best ever because she sings a song and blows kisses to Sophia & Ellie every night before she drifts off to sleep.)"
