I have accepted that I am not going to find it in the short term, if ever; so need to let it go and move on. I still feel a sense of sadness that something I have treasured for so long has gone missing, but I still have so much to be thankful for.
The first and most important thing is my husband. Twenty-two years ago tomorrow, Ivan and I exchanged wedding vows and became husband and wife.
It was a moment in my life that has brought me more JOY than anyone deserves. I am more in love with this amazing man, than I was 22 years ago and each day that we wake up together, I thank God for him.
Whatever, replaces my wedding ring is going to be a symbol of both our past and the new future that we have together. I have this wonderful feeling that we are on the verge of a new beginning. so many changes are on the horizon, children growing up, my studies, our lives together. So as I faced life 22 years ago as a very young bride, I can now face life as a 'mature-age' woman still in love with an amazing man.
This is Me, wearing my wedding ring, and ruby/diamond ring - that I still have! 15th March, 1989 |

We remember this wonderful day that you and Ivan were married, you are still as beautiful as you were then, never loose your love, your faith, your smile. Love Mom & Dad
Beverly, congratulations! A very happy anniversary to you and your husband! Here's a thought, why don't the two of you renew your vows? That would make one heck of an awesome way to celebrate your anniversary and a new ring to further symbolize your love and commitment to one another. :-)
Gosh! You are both So Young!!! What a lovely post, Beverly. It's been an amazing 22 years which does suggest that the next 22 will be equally as wonderful. Congratulations!
