unaccessorized
but i also received another package - a small box.
this box was from relatives that i may have met once or twice, but i honestly do not remember them. they sent me a ring and a note. my aunt ginny, who died shortly before christmas, apparently wanted me to have it. it belonged to my great aunt helen before her.
the note says: "hope you enjoy wearing this ring and remembering two fine ladies."
i cannot remember the last time i spoke to aunt ginny. she always sent me a birthday card and a christmas card, and i always responded with a thank you card, with a letter updating her on my life. that's just how it was. but aunt helen, i've heard about her, but i honestly don't know if she was alive at any point since i've been born, or if she died before...i have no clue.
how do i remember relatives i didn't know? i feel guilty having this keepsake.
i tried on the ring. of course, it doesn't fit. i had a hunch that it wasn't going to -- after all, i kinda learned long ago through another situation that, i'm just not a ring-wearin' sorta girl.
so it's sitting in it's brown velvety box on my desk. i guess i'll put it in a drawer somewhere for safekeeping.
