Of course it isn't "magic." It is a symbol of strong, capable women. Of which you are, obviously, one.<BR/><BR/>I can't imagine your pain. But it is good to see you working through it. <BR/><BR/>((((Andrea))))Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15450512.post-71330490947842581432007-11-02T13:03:00.000-05:002007-11-02T13:03:00.000-05:00I have a ring like that--mine is a moonstone set i...I have a ring like that--mine is a moonstone set in gold. It was my maternal grandmother's engagement ring (her fiance was killed in WWI). My hopelessly pragmatic (and unprofound) advice: Get the setting tightened and get the ring resized. If they can't resize it, get a ring guard for it. Wear rubber gloves when you clean the bathroom. And tell your daughter that it's hers when you're done with it--that's my message to my oldest niece, who's next in line for the moonstone.<BR/><BR/>It's good to see you posting again.Mollie F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03236661501694533797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15450512.post-82787539647983419142007-11-02T09:40:00.000-05:002007-11-02T09:40:00.000-05:00I bet it's a beautiful ring.

When you're feeling up to it, maybe you could get it re-sized?<BR/><BR/>The interesting thing is: how do you know how well it fit all these other women? Maybe they wore it loose or tight or tied string around it to make it fit. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what that all means but I do know that you are strong and you do belong with that lineage. <BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15450512.post-86455549025413825652007-11-02T06:20:00.000-05:002007-11-02T06:20:00.000-05:00Oh, Andrea - you are incredibly strong.

You are a strong, gifted woman who is hurting horribly. <BR/><BR/>While the ring on your hand may not fit, the ring of friends around you is strong and tight.jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752779296599153304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15450512.post-41973106337832291472007-11-01T20:16:00.000-05:002007-11-01T20:16:00.000-05:00Andrea: you are strong.

Your rings are off, you're in DeKalb, you're being that grownup and not just pretending. <BR/><BR/>Some day when you're feeling strong, take the amethyst to a jewelry store and let them tighten the setting, fit it with a thing to make it fit your finger. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry it hurts so bad.behahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16999904314187626687noreply@blogger.com
