Happy Valentine's Day, All

Took some Valentine's photos of a friend's wedding rings today....and thought the same would be cool with my mom and dad's rings. The rings above belong to my friend Jennifer and her husband.

And these well-beaten rings show the love and devotion and companionship that my parents had for almost 60 years. My father's ring, as you can see, is very scratched, dented and bruised. He worked on mechanical engines and installed propane gas tanks for a living---and as you can tell by the dings, he NEVER took his ring off. Mom's is somewhat shinier and has more of a dainty look, but it is not perfectly round...those dings and bends show true love over the years....all wrapped up in a tiny gold band. I had the bottom photo matted and framed for the Mother today, and she absolutely adored it.
