This morning, W mentioned she again looked through all of the areas in her room for the engagement ring. She said she was trying not to freak out over it until we turn the house upsdie down looking for it this weekend.
I asked questions very calmly about the last time she saw it. She says it was in the summer wheh she wore it for a dinner party (she went by herself b/c I had to go to my grandfather's funeral out of town). WHAT?! So, she has worn it since the bomb? News to me. And, again, I'm not placing any hope/expectation on this. Just noting it and have to admit I'm pretty surprised. But again, I think it's more likely related to her concern over her appearance v. any sign of love/like for me.
And, I am concerned about not finding the ring. I paid a lot of $$$ for the ring.
Then this morning, I was reminded of Thinker's posts about his sitch with the lost engagement ring. So, the question popped in my head, if we have to make an insurance claim for it, what do we do with the $$$? Guess that depends on where we are at the time. If we are where we are right now (presumably hurtling towards a D), what do you do with the $$$? Pay down debt?
Two days ago, I was 100% convinced W had put the ring away b/c she saw it as a sign of my love for her and/or a symbol of our M. And, I thought she had not worn it at all since the bomb. Wow.
