My brother's special holiday gift

[scarlettina]

More than twenty years ago, my mother gifted my brother with my father's college ring. It was a special thing: a ring from Hunter College where my dad attended on the GI bill during the first year the school was coed. The ring was beautiful, with a lavender-colored stone, highly detailed, but made of metal a lot thinner than school rings are made

Your sister in law really, really loves your brother. And his family. What a gorgeous story, and yes, it made me tear up a little, too.

I am grateful to you for sharing it (and really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night!)

Screw the horrid "hair and combs" story -- THAT'S a holiday gift story that warms the gooey soft parts! I'm feeling a bit choked up myself. Gosh.
