A Broken Promise

I've been wearing this ring on my finger since Chris gave it to me during our first Christmas nearly 10 years ago.




About a week ago I discovered this:




My black hills gold promise ring lost one of its leaves! Chris was sad but simply stated, "Well, looks like I know what I should get you for Christmas this year."

The thing is, it's not the ring that means the most to me; it's the message behind it when he gave it to me all those years ago.

I can't stand looking at the gap from where the leaf should be, but I also don't have the heart to take it off and put it in my jewelry box before something else happens to it.

Have you ever lost something sentimental? It's almost like a part of the memory is gone with it, but maybe that's just pregnant brain taking over...
