Mom’s Rings

Those who know me or follow this blog know that my mom passed away last summer. She had been in a nursing home for a while with Alzheimer’s so she didn’t have that much stuff left. My oldest brother is the only one still living in Wisconsin but when she passed he was in no shape to go through her stuff so his wife Diana (who is very nice), did it for him.

They have a grown-up daughter and my other brother has no kids, so Diana decided that I should get my mom’s rings so I could give them to Danielle or Victoria. My parents had no money, so none of these rings have any monetary value, just sentimental.

Just recently, my wife has been letting Danielle wear some of the rings.

My mom was 5′ 2" in two inch heels and weighed 95 pounds after a good meal. She had tiny fingers. Her rings fit my 7 year old pretty nicely.

It’s kind of amazing how happy seeing your mom’s wedding ring on your daughter’s finger makes you feel….
