The ring means so much to me, it carries memories that go far beyond its value. The significance of the ring and the memories it carries...well here it is.
Engagement, five years ago. Dust proposed on a dinner train the night was unforgettable, he drove like a maniac, the directions from Map Quest led us in the complete wrong direction. I stood on the train dock crying as the train pulled out, not because we missed the train but I had just been through the scariest car ride of my life, he ran stop lights, it was bad. Ended well though, the train stopped and a nice couple drove us to the middle of no where and we hopped the train, so to speak. Dust proposed after dinner and everyone on the train remembered me as the girl crying on the train platform...then again any woman would cry after a ride like that.
Wedding day; 4 years ago and some months, not really counting. It was a picture perfect August day and the best part was Dust's mom got to be there. I don't think at the time I appreciated her presence at our wedding as much as I do now. When I think of that day, thoughts of her always follow. The first day of our journey together
Maxson's Birthday; 2 months ago almost 3 now, the baby boy I dreamed about came into the world. We had taken some pictures of Maxson holding our rings. Now looking at my ring (on my finger!!) signifies our unity as a family, Dust, me, and Max.
Thank you God for all the blessings you have given us! Max's life has enriched my life and the worth of it goes far beyond any riches, or jewelry for that matter.
Maxson,
I miss you more than I can express and although you only held my wedding ring for a moment you will hold a piece of my heart indefinitely. I will cherish the memory of your time with us and I will rejoice the day I hold you again and kiss your sweet face.
love you,
mom

I've been reading for quite some time now... But I am comment shy. I know that there is nothing I can say that comes close to what you deserve to hear, if that makes sense. But I wanted to tell you, that from an outside view, I can see God all over you. You, my sister, are covered in His grace and mercy. Thank you for sharing your journey. Its an awesome thing to witness.

The ring...a circle...no beginning and no end...goes on eternally...and in heaven we will all live eternally...with each other and with our Creator. It will be so wonderful.
