I Just Sold My Wedding Ring

I just sold my wedding ring yesterday. I had it for 43 years. Didn't wear it after Jerry died, but still had it. I went to a pawn shop and got some money--not enough--for it.
When Jerry sold his wedding ring, it was to feed the family. I didn't like that. It seemed disrespectful to me, and there had to be another way to get money at the time.
I figured gold was worth a lot (which it is) and Stephanie really didn't want my wedding ring. Somehow I got taken but I didn't care. Who wants my wedding ring, anyway? The pawn shop got richer in that transaction. But money is transient and so are wedding rings and so are people.
