Before my surgery in February, I listed several "reasons" I was having it - and now, I'm happy to announce that I've reached one of the most important ones!! Last Sunday, I was able to wear my wedding ring to worship!!
When Andy and I became engaged, he asked his dad for the rings his birth mother wore when they married (Dad had already mentioned Andy getting them "someday", so it wasn't out of the blue.) Well, her rings were white gold, and I wanted my own set anyway, so we took out the diamonds and returned the setting to Dad.
When I got to church, it was my intention to show only a couple of those closest to me; but not Andy! Before I knew it, everyone was wanting to see my hand! One lady said - "They look brand new!" - they should; I've not worn them since Erin was a little girl....
So, today I go to see my surgeon. I'd told him of my goal, and his response was that, in all the years he's done this surgery, no one had ever told him of wanting to put their wedding ring back on. Today, he sees it in it's rightful place. I plan to take my camera to record the event!
