Christmas NSV

i made a goal when I started back on track that I wanted to be able to fit into my mom's engagement ring by Christmas.

A bit of background:

I lost my mom when I was eight. I didn't know that my dad kept her rings to give to me one day.

Somehow I lost the diamond from my engagement ring at the beach this summer. no breaks in the tines at all, just suddenly no diamond.

When I told my parents about it, my dad let me in on the secret of mom's rings. He had been wanting to give them to me, but didn't know how. This was the moment he had been looking for. My stepmother brought them over a few days later.

My mom was a small woman, so the rings didn't fit at the time. I knew that they would eventually b/c the ring fit up to my 2nd knuckle at that time.

As my weight went down, I tried on the ring to see my progress. Christmas morning, I slid the engagement ring on my finger. It fit! Not able to get the wedding band on just yet. This is a dream come true. I get to wear something from my mom. Plus I have lost almost all of the weight that I put on since Jan. so happy!
