I'm Devastated.

After my water aerobics class tonight, I was getting changed in the locker room and discovered something. This:

That would be my wedding ring, missing one vital piece. Somehow during my class the diamond on my ring fell off into the pool. The chances of recovering it are pretty small.

I'm really quite surprise by how upset I am over the loss. I feel like I've lost an appendage or something. This ring has been on my finger for more than 13 years at this point and has worn a groove onto my finger. I know that we can replace it, although, it's not happening any time soon, but there is so much sentimental value attached to this ring that I'm just devastated. I know, it's just a stupid ring, but I'm really just sad. I'm sure I'll get over it, but again, I'm just sad.

This is so sad! The weird thing is that you can stand and stare at the pool, knowing it's in there but not knowing exactly where. So close yet so far away. I would be ticked, and sad, and devastated too! I recommend holding a little funeral (like on the Office when they held the funeral for the bird). Therapy.

That is sooo sad! I've lost a smaller diamond off of mine before and I know how you feel! It is literally a part of you!! Put on the scuba gear and make a date out of it!
