Do I get the word dad or dads initials on a necklace?

[Anonymous]

Dad passed. Do I get the word dad on my necklace or his initial. So J for John instead? Or is that weird to get his initial

I'm sorry to hear about your dad passing. That's really tough. As for the necklace, I don't think either option is weird. Here's what I think:

Getting his initial could be a nice, more subtle way to honor him and keep him close. Unless you have a super common name, people probably wouldn't know it represents your dad unless you told them.

But at the same time, having the word "Dad" is a really direct, meaningful representation of the important role he played in your life. You'd know exactly what it symbolizes whenever you looked at it.

Honestly, you couldn't go wrong with either one. Maybe see which one feels more personal and special to your relationship when you picture wearing it. Or you could even do both initial and word if you want him remembered in a big way.

As long as it helps you feel connected to your dad's memory, that's what really matters. You gotta do what feels right for your healing process. Hang in there - I'm sure he'd be proud to be remembered by you either way.

Whichever you want.
I'd personally go for his initials if I was getting jewelry of like my own dad.

Sorry for the loss of your dad. I think either way works.
