You can't eat a diamond.

The couple that wore these two rings

have been together over 32 years.

He could not wear his ring after it was broken on the job.

Even if he wanted to,

He could not wear jewelry in his line of work.

Now, however, he has been out of work for over a year

with disabling health issues.  

She, long ago, 

sold the diamond for bread for the family.

The jeweler, who bought the diamond said,

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

She said,

"You can't eat a diamond."

Her arthritis swollen hands now 

can no longer wear the ring.  

She has gone back to work 

as her spouse no longer can.

If you are engaged,

soon to be married.......... 

Don't argue over silly things like rings.  

Life is not about stuff.

It grows old, gets sold, tarnishes,

gets broken, no longer fits. 

Love each other.

Not the stuff.
