Thank you for sharing it. I appreciate the thought. I truly am not worried about the credits though. I would rather it go to someone who it has real meaning to, for little to nothing; rather than someone who it has no meaning, for more. ;)
It used to be, that you could find 'Black' Heart 'Mourning' rings, that had bands wide enough to engrave your loved one's name and date of death Etc. But those are very hard to find. I found one company, but they are more expensive than I can afford! Sometime, if you have the time, it would be interesting to 'google' search 'Mourning Jewelry'. There is really quite a large variety of vintage examples, with 'hair' brooches, and what is now sold as 'poison' rings, that you could keep a lock of your loved one's hair in.
Anyway ... I didn't mean to go on, and on like that :-) I'm crossing my fingers on this one!
Please don't stop bidding on my account everyone. I have plenty of credits, so I have no doubt I will win this auction, and 'tdragon21t' deserves to earn as many credits as this ring is worth. @ tdragon21t ... I would not take offense if you were to 'hide' the comment about my son. I fear that people will not bid after seeing it, and you might get higher bids if that comment isn't showing. I want to be sure you get what the ring is worth.
You all are going to make me cry <3 Wonderful people like you all, were the reason my Son was committed to doing his part to sustain and defend the freedoms, and liberties that the Citizens of this Great Nation enjoy. He was a Christian, with a close relationship with the Lord, so I have not 'lost' him, because I do know where he is. I hold fast to the CERTAINTY, that one day, when God's will has been done, I will be with him again :-)
Today is a very special day. This day 6 years ago, marks my son's return to the Country he loved so much. On the next day, he was buried in the Sacred Ground of Arlington National Cemetery, in Sec. 60, Grave Site #8321.
Once again, I just wanted to thank you all for your caring comments, they truly do warm my heart <3
