Now I’ve never taken my wedding band and engagement ring off, the ones Stan gave me. I’ve never had the inclination to. Stan put them there with the intention of me wearing them all my life, not all his life. I didn’t see this proposal coming, so I didn’t ever give much thought to how I would handle another ring. But Clay did.
The ring Clay gave me was not a ring at all, it was a band of diamonds, designed to fit perfectly around the ring I’d worn for half my life. And that’s who Clay is. He’s the man who wants to love me without having to shove the rest of my life out of the way. He doesn’t’ compete with the love I knew before him, he embraces it for the person it has made me.
I’m not to proud to say that I sat on that blanket, surrounded by those letters, looking down at that addition to my ring in the arms of a man I love and cried like a blubbering idiot.
I wonder who else might step across my porch someday. Will I give more people reason to write such kind letters? I don’t know how many more days I have left on this earth, a lot I hope. But I intend to spend them surrounded by the people I love. I can’t wait to rock the rest of my life next to this brilliant, big hearted man.
I hope you enjoyed this small glimpse of the world through Betty's eyes. A taste of her favorite things for those who can never get enough of her.
