Was not expecting it!!! Ok so today I went to my aunts house. It was so hard and when I got there I thought for sure I was not going to beable to hold it together. I was doing good till my cousing brought me my music box. It was so hard to hold back the tears! I went to put it in my bag when they all told me to open it. I thought to myself no way,,,, I can't hear the song! But they told me I had to. I could hardly see from the tears filling in my eyes. And there it was!!! My grandmothers wedding ring set! It was left to my aunt when my nana past. I have always wanted it but figured that it would be passed down to my cousin and so forth. My cousin told me that not too long before my aunts passing, her and my aunt were talking,,,,, They were planning my cousin wedding and my aunt asked if she still wanted nana's wedding set. Since my cousins did not really remember my nana, (she past when they were still very young) she told my aunt that the best person to leave it to is me. We both broke down crying,,,, it was the only talk of that nature that was ever mentioned by my aunt. And about a month later she passed away. It was a very emotional day to say the least. But my heart is filled with so much joy to know that she wanted me to have these things!
I tried taking a picture of the rings with my dig cam, but it would not focus to get a clear picture. What did come in clear is Gus feeling a bit left out. Who would have thought that he wanted to get into the picture after all the struggles he put up when really taking pictures of him. Crazy Gus Gus!
