Groove is in the heart

Because I am retaining a lot of fluid due to my pregnancy, I have had to take off my rings, including my engagement and wedding rings. This pains me greatly, as they have pretty much not left my finger since M put them on almost five and a half years ago, but my doc says it's better than having to have them cut off. Still, it makes me sad.

This morning, as I was driving in, I looked down at my left ring finger and realized there is a deep groove in my finger from my rings. I smiled and stroked the place where my ring would be and felt better about it. It doesn't take a ring to be married.
