Engagement Ring
My son was excited. He had decided to propose to his girlfriend. They are 23 and 26 but she had a crush on him when she was thirteen. They met when we became neighbors ten years ago. He did not want just a plain little diamond engagement ring, he wanted something a little more special. He asked for my advice. I was honored.
I did some research online and found a site that offered different types of engagement rings. I showed him the site and he sat down and looked through them all. Suddenly he found the one that seemed to speak her name to him. He showed it to me and I was impressed. It was simple yet unique and by being so, it struck me as the prettiest one available on the website.
He knew her ring size because he had gotten her sister to sneak out one of her other rings to him to be sized. So he was able to order the engagement ring right then and there. He had it mailed to my house so she would not find out about it. Every day that week he called me to see if it had been delivered yet.
That engagement ring is a symbol of the two very unique individuals it signifies and I am as proud to call her my new daughter as I am to call him my son.
