tonight while visiting with mawmaw she told me she needed to talk to me. we walked into her bedroom and she picked up her wedding rings. she said that it took pawpaw a year to buy them after they were married because he had to save up the money. he paid $100 for them, they're real gold and a real diamond. she looked at me and told me she wanted me to have them. while it took ALL my strength to keep from busting out crying i told her i was more than thrilled to have them. they fit perfectly and they are worth so much more to me. she told me she knew that they weren't as expensive as the rings Matt bought for me but i told her it didn't matter because no amount of money could buy those rings from me. as soon as i got in the car and Matt asked what she wanted to talk to me about i lost it!! i'm not ready for this. i know what this is all leading up to and i'm just not ready!!! i've always had her in my life, she's always been here. i've always had 4 grandparents; for 27 years. i had 2 great grandmas in my life for 26 years. but i am beyond honored, thrilled, excited that she wanted to give these to me. ME!!! i told her that one day i might would save these to give to Branson to give to give to the girl he decides to marry IF she understand the true value of them. i've cried about it all night since she gave them to me.
i so wished i would have had my good camera to take these pictures. they turned out so good!!! mawmaw never thought she'd live to see great grandchildren, let alone TWO of them. Branson calls her "mawmaw Midder" and talks so often about her and wanting to go see her.
