Lost ring

Been so busy at work lately that I did not have time to blog.
I do try to FB tho whenever I have the time.

I lost a ring that my mom gave me.
It had felt loose lately, perhaps I have lost a little weight around my fingers.
One day after using the office rest room my fingers felt light and when I looked, the ring was missing.
I searched for it but alas, it was no where to be found.
If I had bought the ring myself, it would not matter too much.
After all, its just something material.
I can always work harder, earn more and replace it.
However, it was given to me by my mom.
I cannot replace that.
I wear two rings that she gave me.
Now I am left with one.

I told my mom about the lost ring.
She told me what I have been taught all these years.
Material things are replaceable.
Do not fret over what is no longer yours.
I will try.

this is really more than just a material thing for you..it is a piece of your mom's love for you in the giving of it.
god cares for your unselfish sadness.

Hi Terry,
How is dad Golden doing? Mom Golden?
Hope u are all well and healthy.

I seem to be coming down with something. A cough and sore throat.
I should recover in a few days; just having to go thru the irritation of being not at my physical best for now.

Another 7 weeks to my vacation time! I need to be at my healthiest soon!

I will check out your webpage right after I finish writing this.
Happy Ruby Tuesday.

Hi Terry,
I am still coughing and its costing me quite a bit of my sleep'

I went to mom's over the weekend and now she's got the cough too. My brother got the cough about the same time as me.

I am sorry to hear that Dad golden is feeling depressed. Maybe he needs a change in the environment.
I remember my brothers taking my dad out a an evening drive just to keep him from depression during the times he was ill.
We had to keep him constantly amused.

How is mom Golden holding up?
Update me on what u and Bernie have been up to lately.

Laters.

well sorry about not getting back to you yesterday june!
we have been going out every evening but that isn't what tired me.
we have been spring cleaning every day at the church..the windows, the floors and the walls and it really made me feel weak, but i think i am on my second wind now and so i am going to write to you.
you first and then i will try to catch up to a few more blogs.
i hope that you are feeling better.
when bernie had a real bad cold the doctor gave him antibiotics but he had to take them for twelve days..the same as dad golden did.
maybe the pills haven't kicked in yet for you but they had better!
doesn't that cough know that you are counting the days before you will be on vacation with jar?
i really hope that you are feeling better and i will pray for that!...and i am still hoping that you will find your ring...i remember one time that mom golden had given me a really nice pink sweater and i treasured it. one time i left it in the locker room of the hospital where i worked. and somebody stole it..i felt so bad and so i bought another one and never told mom golden. i had it for another three years and then i lent it to my gramma golden one cold spring day and you know what?, the next time i saw it, my aunt dorothy golden was wearing it, and guess why junie?...gramma golden had given it to her! what is a person to do, eh...ha!!love terry
