Love is forever

My mother inherited my grandmothers jewlrey and I was entitled to have some of whatever she had. Granny had the bare minimun when it came to jewlry. Not even a diamond ring existed in her jewlry box. It was a shock, as well as an eye opener for me. I do have my heart set on one day recieving a diamond from the man that I love, as the symbol of our committment and our lasting love for eachother. I just never imagined my grandmother accepting less for herself. Their marriage lasted 53 years, and a diamond ring didn't keep it together. It was based on something that was completely natural and true. The love didn't need a symbol to be seen by both partners, nor by anyone else. I admire that of the both my grandmother and grandfather. I hope that I will have the same strength in my relationship with my husband one day.
