TILL DEATH DO US PART

When mom passed away nearly 7 years ago, I inherited her wedding rings from my dad. Now, mind you, my folks had been divorced since I was 5, however dad had always been close to mom's heart through the years, and she kept his rings safe in her jewelry box. I began wearing these rings on a gold chain around my neck, and when I was in Florida a couple years ago, I showed dad what I was wearing. He went to his room and came out with HIS wedding band from mom, and gave it to me. I slipped it on my gold chain and began wearing them together. After dad passed away last month, I took the rings to a jeweler and had them sized for my hand. (mom was a beanpole when she married dad, and her rings were a size 4!) Not as meaningful to me as they could have been, had they stayed married all those years, but still a reminder of their love for me. I wear them proudly. Till death do us part. And then they'll get passed on to MY oldest daughter.
