My birthday tomorrow and a ring

I was surprised when he gave the ring. We were casually scanning some books at the store when he pulled out something from his left pocket and gave me the ring. It was a silver ring and it was just the right fit.

I was surprised. I think I said that already. The ring was silver - a typical wedding ring with something carved inside it.

The ring was simple.. it was ok.. but the carved name and date made it special. :) "CHOY 09 04 20" That was what it said. Even though I'm a sucker for extravagant gifts, this simple ring makes me want to look forward and focus on the future. It made me scared and hopeful. It made me nervous and excited. It made me smile. :) Once again, I realized that the best things in life are often not wrapped with glittery papers nor colorful ribbons. The best things in life comes in simple packages.. sometimes it's not even placed inside a small box. Sometimes it's just out there waiting for everyone to see it's goodness.

Meeting him made me realize a lot of things about life and about myself. I know I am reflective but to actually see and experience another side of life is just... SOMETHING. :) All the while I thought I am that great but during the time we started this friendship I learned that there's so much I have to learn. I feel like a child when I'm with him. A carefree child who's not mindful of how silly she looks even with a missing front tooth or an undone hair. I am happy with the friendship. I am thankful that we became good friends. Hopefully lifetime partners in the future. :)
