My Grandma's Ring

This is my most prized possession. It is a beautiful cocktail ring that I inherited from my paternal grandmother.

I remember my grandmother wearing this ring. Every time she did, she would tell me that one day it would be mine. I have three sisters, and we each had a special ring that Grandma wore, and we each new which ring would be ours someday. My grandmother only had sons, so she passed her rings down to her granddaughters.

I was so excited when I had my first daughter, because I knew right then that I would be able to pass my grandma's ring to her. When I had my second daughter, I knew which ring I would give her, too. It's my mom's engagement ring from my dad. My mom gave it to me the day I got married. Of course, I also have my own engagement ring to pass along someday, and that will go to my first granddaughter, if I am lucky enough to have one. I look forward to telling the girls my story of where the rings came from, and letting them know which ones they will inherit. I know how much it meant to me to get this ring when my grandma died, and i hope it will mean just as much to them.

I am going to share the one above.
