That day, Ina watched
with a heavy heart as Helena slowly untied her shell necklace and then knotted
it around Tola’s neck. That necklace had never left Helena’s neck since her
fifteenth birthday when Ina had given it to her. On the day of the Fishing
Contest, she still wore it in addition to other neck bands. It was a necklace
that signified a mother’s undying, unconditional love for her child. It was the symbol of deep love between mother
and daughter.
