Grandpa, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench. He didn't move, just sat with his head down staring at his hands. When I sat down beside him he didn't acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat, I wondered if he was OK. Finally, not really wanting to disturb him but wanting to check on him at the same time, I asked him if he was OK.
He raised his head and looked at me and smiled. "Yes, I'm fine, thank you for asking," he said in a clear strong voice.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
Did you know that July and August are now more popular wedding months than June? During all these ceremonies, wedding rings play a prominent role. An almost universal tradition dating back millennia, rings in general and wedding rings in particular have various meanings. Glimpsing the ring on one’s finger, one is prompted anew to live out the vows made years ago, to love and be faithful to one’s spouse in ways big and small.
