I thought this post would be a snap to write. I’ve been visualizing it, burning to put it down and share it, but this is my fifth effort and I can’t get the flow so here’s another draft.
This is a perfect time for gift-giving; we have our health again, so it’s time to celebrate!
I created a new photo calendar for him, documenting our events, he got it into his head to buy me something special given that my birthday logically came and went quietly while he was dealing with hospital life.
He loved the calendar and it’s now up on the wall, showcasing our life together.
I have this fancy ring on my finger, replacing a band of 15 years, that’s not discarded, just moved over to the right hand.
Funny, I never expected a fancy ring. I was always satisfied with funky, but fancy isn’t bad either, not when it’s really more about us than just me.

Your post made me smile, of course. It’s a happy thing, no matter the gift. With all your photographs I imagine the calendar is just awesome, Bonnie, and a special ring to wear is just right. Happy Anniversary again!
Perfect! And we might have some specific feedback to the last test if a doctor would ever communicate with us
What a sweet post! So happy you two are doing well and enjoying life to the fullest. Love the ring! 🙂
Thanks Jane
It’s good to know that Tuvia feels better and you are celebrating. I like how you both thought of a perfect gift for each other. Happy Anniversary!
Thanks Terje,
It’s so helpful to have friends support us in the darkness and the light 🙂
Your calendar looks to be filled with images of love…and that ring reflects the kind of love that grows deep in the heart over time and through the trials and tribulations of life.
It’s great to have images that document life and yes, the ring is also a perfect symbol of our period of wellness.
Great gifts. You both have something that you will cherish because of the thought and love that was put into picking out the perfect gift. Of course, the real gift is that you have each other.
YES!
Beautiful ring…beautiful couple…
🙂
Gorgeous ring! But it’s the joy in each of those pictures that is priceless. So happy to read you are back on the healthy track. Someday I will see that ring in person. I think at a cafe with Tara would be just the place. What do you think?
Let’s do it! Are you coming to the NCTE conference in Boston in November?
A fancy ring for a fancy time in your life. Live it up and enjoy. Loved the photos and my favorite part was how you wrapped this slice up. It is about “us” not “me.” Lovely lovely. ❤
Thanks Betsy. It’s been a wild and crazy ride with a nice way to come back home.
The beauty of your pictures reflects the beauty inside you. Now a beauty on your finger will bring a smile to your face each time. Happy Birthday and Happy Love!
Wow this is such a wonderful comment to be reading first thing on a chilly morning in the darkness 🙂
What a beautiful ring and a beautiful story. You and Tuvia make a wonderful pair!
