Roses & rings & love :)

A couple of months ago, I went to the store, came home & put the groceries away, went downstairs to e-mail something & when I looked down I noticed that the right diamond had fallen out of it's place. I was devastated! I felt so bad! I looked around everywhere in my house, in the car, in the garage, on the floor, in all the sacks, everywhere, & I couldn't find it.
I called Brian, on the verge of tears and told him what had happened. I know this is a temporal thing & I won't take it with me when I die, but I also know that I am a sentimental person & this ring means so much to me. We chose the ring together just before he proposed, and we both liked it because the 3 diamonds meant "Yesterday, Today, & Forever." Being 1/2 serious, and 1/2 not, I sadly & dramatically told him when he got home that day that our "forever" was gone. He gave me a hug & said,
"Our forever will never be gone."
We waited for a while to get it fixed until we could afford it & then got a simplified version of the missing diamond. On October 20, which was actually the day he proposed 9 years ago, he knelt down in front of the kids & gave me the ring which had been fixed, re-aligned, & cleaned. Yes, very sweet.
I have been thinking about my ring & forever. While I wore the ring & the diamond was gone, I kept thinking about forever & how long away eternity seems & how I felt like I was missing something. However, as much as I missed the diamond, I felt peace in knowing that it was only something in this life, but that the true forever is possible because of being sealed in the temple for time & all eternity - I have the missing peace. I can be with my family forever! I love the comforting words that Brian said to me that our forever will never be gone, because of the blessings from the temple that we have, our love will continue on forever.
