A Girl's Best Friend

Ever since I was eight months pregnant, I have not been able to wear my wedding ring. My husband gave me the most gorgeous diamond engagement ring. He picked it out himself and it is absolutely perfect. Then the day we got married he slipped on a diamond wedding ring that made it even more beautiful. I have proudly worn and shined those diamonds ever since he put them on my finger. So you can imagine my disappointment when I had to take them off and put them away. After many jokes about walking around pregnant and having no wedding ring and then giving birth and having a newborn with still no wedding ring, I started to really get aggravated with the whole situation. The most beautiful and expensive piece of jewelry I own and I can't even flaunt them in the one moment in life that I needed shiny accessories the most.

I have been trying to put those rings on my fingers and every day I am let down. I never thought I would be willing myself to lose weight in my FINGERS! This afternoon I was washing dishes and I noticed my bare ring finger. I had forgotten my daily ritual of trying on my rings. So I went into the bedroom and opened the box. I sighed knowing the outcome and slipped them on my finger. Wouldn't you know it they slipped right on! I felt like I did that night in Times Square when Chad asked me those magical words. I am now proudly wearing my wedding ring. I know these rings aren't what makes me married but it sure is nice to let the rest of the world know. Plus I just look and feel a little better with my shiny diamonds!
