Wedding Ring 4

Posted on March 23, 2003 in Household

I was standing in the shower when Lynn came in the bathroom door. “Look,” she said. Her hand came up and there was the wedding ring, pinched between two fingers.

She found it in a place where she’d searched before — a stack of boxes in the corner of our living room. She’s put it on a gold chain until she can get it resized.

I’m glad that I didn’t lose my head over this one. When our first search proved fruitless, I looked her in the eye and said “Look, we’re still married. I still love you. This hasn’t changed anything.”

The rediscovery has put hope in both of us. Lynn feels as happy as the widow who lost her mite was. A ring’s just a symbol, but it inspires.

Thanks to those who offered suggestions and/or expressed their support.
