My Aunt And Grandparent

Throughout my childhood, Grandma would look at that simple gold band and smile softly.

“One day,” she’d say, “we’ll have the wedding we never got.”

Nothing extravagant—just a modest gathering at the local community center, some flowers, music, cake, and the people they loved most.

They called their savings the “Happily-Ever-After Fund.”
