Today I got a call from my beloved husband that he lost his wedding ring. While I know there are far worse things in life, this tore me up. I cried well over an hour about it initially... and now I am up after we already went to bed and crying again because I can't stop thinking about it. I know it seems so silly to me that I can't pull myself together over it. Yes I know the ring can be replaced, that it is just a symbol, but it is something special and something I cherish. He has worn it for over 5 years now and it hurts me to know that it is gone. We had it specially engraved with our wedding date and a verse that we claimed over our relationship when we first started dating- Psalm 115:1.
I know Matt feels terrible. I am not upset with him at all. He was in his class at Seminary. Each week they take a break in the middle of class to go use the restroom, etc. Well every week he takes his ring off and sets it near his laptop because the bathroom sink drain doesn't have a stopper in it and he didn't want to lose it down the drain. Today he comes back from his break and it's gone. After searching around where he was sitting and all through his things, we can only draw one conclusion, that someone took it.
I pray that it shows up. That if someone took it they would feel remorse and return it. Even if we wanted to replace it right now, we don't really have the money to. Of course we could tap into our emergency fund that we worked so hard to build up and replace it. But the whole situation just makes me sad. I really haven't cried this much in a long long time. Of course being pregnant does not help the emotional situation at all. So if you think about it just say a prayer for us. Like I said, I know there are worse things but it still means a lot to me.

Sorry to hear this, guys! Can't believe that happened there of all places. But, I'm glad it wasn't lost from him spinning it!!! He and Mike both love to do that all the time for some reason. :)
