My wife is very sentimental. Soon it will be her birthday again and I am thinking about getting her a ring. When we had been dating for about 3 months, I decided her first birthday present from me would be a ring. I carefully watched the rings that she would wear and there was one that she wore which would only fit on her left-hand ring finger. Once when she had it off and wasn't looking, I measured it so that I would know the size of her ring finger.
I bought her this beautiful little twisted wire gold ring. When I gave it to her and she tried it on, the only finger that it would fit was the ring finger of her left hand (hehe my plan worked). That's when I told her, "That's your promise ring. It's my promise to always love you." That moment really cemented our relationship. No man had ever given her a ring before.
The sad thing is that after we were married for a time, our home was burglarized and that ring was one of the many things was stolen. She keeps telling me not to buy a replacement for it. She also says don't buy flowers, but I have learned to ignore that and get them anyway. She likes when she does receive flowers now, so maybe it's time for a new ring.
Since she wears her wedding ring on that finger now, which has a silver band, I'm thinking a silver ring like the "promise ring" that would fit her left-hand little finger would be nice. That way she could wear it along with her wedding ring if she wanted to. This time it will be my promise to give as much of myself to her as I can and to never stop giving.
Looking back on our early relationship together has helped me to visualize how happy we can be together. Maybe this will help her to remember those times too. That would make me so happy if it does help her to remember and gives her a new special memory.
