keep me in your heart for a while
When I was a little girl, my mom had to travel on business a lot. One time, I was really sad and asking her not to go. She gave me a little ring in a red pouch and told me it was a promise ring, and she was going to leave it with me and she would get it from me when she came home. It was a promise that she would never leave me, she'd always come home. Every time she traveled for a while after, she'd leave the ring with me.
I have absolutely no idea what happened to that ring, but I've been thinking about it a lot today. I wonder if that's why the one gold ring I always wear is such a comfort - it reminds me of being a little girl and keeping the ring safe until she came to take it back. Even though she won't be back to get it this time, I still always wear the ring.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I miss you.
