Trust me........I'd lose my life before I let someone take it from me. Thats how much it means to me now.
The thought that losing a mechanical device is more important than losing a wedding ring is just sad to me.
More than just a symbol, its representative of the committment and love I held for him. |
I am wondering if the gender of the person plays a part in this. Most women I know see their ring as more than jewelry, and would have a hard time dealing with the loss.
