I remember when I was a little kid I was good at sports and I could jump off the high board. And then puberty hit and suddenly I was looking to boys for direction. I remember that as a great loss.
For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.
