Held

It starts with a baby you can't put down. Then it's a toddler on your hip, a nine-year-old on a bad day, a teenager who won't say what's wrong but still lets you sit on the end of the bed. Then, sooner than seems fair, it's a grown woman with her own children calling you at eleven at night. You're still holding. You never stopped.

This ring is a single line, wound twice around your finger and left open at the ends. It isn't tied off. It doesn't need to be. It just keeps its shape by wrapping — the way a mother does.

Wear Held for the children, however old they are now. For the grandchildren, who are the same weight in your arms as their parents once were. For your own mother, whose arms you can still feel even if she's gone. For every person you've ever wrapped yourself around and quietly refused to drop.

Stack it with the rest — this is the ring that never let go.
