what i wished for at age 9 or 10
While helping my mother move this past summer, I came across my Holly Hobbie scrapbook from long long ago.
I flipped through the pages, smiling at myself for all the pictures I'd cut out of magazines. Most of clipped-out images were of women I admired; there were some tokens kept from ceremonies and funerals, and a few certificates for awards I'd won when I was a girl.
My breath was caught short when I flipped to a blank manilla page. This picture torn from a jewelry store advertisement stared up from the inside edge of the page.
Without the extra little condiment diamonds and the sapphires, I realized, this dream from my childhood looks exactly like the ring KD imagined and designed. This is the ring she offered to me when she asked me to marry her.
