See the ring in the middle? When my grandfather was in the Aleutian Islands, he was missing my grandma and didn’t have a ton of money to buy her a gift and send to her. So, he took a quarter into the machine shop and came up with that ring I’m wearing right there in the middle. My grandma, even though she took off her wedding rings when her husband passed away, wore the quarter ring for the rest of her life.

And now it’s mine. Someday, it will belong to my daughter, but for now, it is mine. It’s a great reminder that love doesn’t require fancy gifts or anything more than your time and energy.
