Several months ago one of my grandkids asked me why I was still wearing my wedding ring, because, after all, you're not married any more. I responded that I was still married in my heart. That feeling was confirmed yesterday. I stopped at the bank to drop some things in the safety deposit box. I have placed much of Janell's jewelry there for safe keeping, and since I am traveling to India and was told to take nothing of value, I thought about putting my wedding ring there with Janell's.
I couldn't do it - no, I didn't want to do it. I had a choice, but the connection - the circle of life with Janell - is still strong in my soul. I will know when I'm ready to transition with this significant piece of jewelry, this symbol of our love. I have visions of joining our rings into something heartfelt, a statement that lovingly displays the depth, the passion and the permanence of our marriage.
But not yet.
