Rings

I didn't intend to post this evening, but decided to record this story.  I'm afraid it may sound trite in the retelling, but Andy and I both smiled through tears as his idea unfolded.

Tuck was playing with Andy's wedding band while they read bedtime books.  I passed by his room on my way to put Tollie in his crib, and paused at the door to say goodnight.
Mama, can I see your ring too?  I want to wear a ring.  I want my own special one.
We explained that people exchange rings with wedding vows, and that someday maybe he would fall in love and get married.
I will wait for Heaven to bring Celia and Colby home and then I will do that.  And she can wear a ring too.
Maybe we can go to the store tomorrow and get some rings.

I love how he's always thinking of her and remembering her.
