In 1995, long before I met my husband his Dad passed away from a heart attack. It was his Dad’s second heart attack, the first being when he was in his early 30s. He passed away at the age of 57, with 3 boys who were only in their 20s.
My husband John and his brothers have had more then 15 years with out their Dad, but his presence is still deeply missed. He is spoken of often in our house. I hear stories of dinners that they shared together, band practices that he attended and evenings spent together laughing and talking. There is always a melancholy to his recollections. I often see the pensiveness in John’s eyes, wishing that his Dad could have met our son, whose middle name is Libero in his memory.
In honor of Libero and the many others who are affected by heart disease, The Cashmere Shop is pleased to announce The 2nd Annual, Our Cashmere has Heart Event. This year we have the 6 pairs of limited edition candy coloured heart wristlets.
