Wedding Ring

As I sit writing this I am staring at the wedding ring on my finger. I can’t take it off. I am not exactly sure why, as everything that it symbolized is no more. However, it has sat on my finger for seven years (eight if you include the year I had just the engagement ring) and it truly feels like it belongs there. I am serious when I say my finger feels “naked” without it. Plus, dang it, it’s pretty!!!! In fact, just the other day (at my attorney’s office none the less) I got a complement about how pretty it was! I tried putting on a different ring instead (to “fill the void”), but it didn’t work – perhaps it’s the weight of the platinum that I miss. What is wrong with me, why can’t I take this ring off!?
