Pic Tag No 2....something special in my family

Hey guys!!!

This is my grandmothers engagment ring. She passed it to my mother, and then my mother passed it on to me. It is probably the most special single thing I own. I really look forward to the day that I can pass it on to my daughter. It cost my grandfather a whole 12 months wages...or so the story goes. It is set in platium with a round diamond in a square setting. I remember admiring it when my grandmother wore it...and she only would on special ocassions. She passed it to my mum not long before she died, hence I thought I would get it until my mum was really old.
When Kelly and I decided to get married, we did have ANY money. Unbeknownst to me, my mother offered Kelly my granmothers ring. Then one Sunday he told me we were going to redcliffe for a picnic. I had no idea what was going on, other than lunch in a park. I was reading a book, while Kelly was playing footy with the boys when the three of them came up to me. Kelly lay down on his belly (I was laying on a picnic rug) and proposed, openning the little box to revel my grnadmothers ring. (I found out later that he asked the boys permission to marry thier mother just before they came up to me) I cried and cried, the boys didn't know what all the fuss was about...typical boys...but they were excited for us.

When Kelly is being an a-hole I try to remember little things like this.
There is so much emotion and memories caught up in this little ring. I often look at it and think of the things it would have seen...the depression and all my aunts and uncles growing up. So thats why I choose it

Thanks for reading

Keep smiling
