Hocus Pocus, Mumbo Jumbo

A top of a castle at sunset in Lisbon, Portugal,

 my only daughter got engaged.

Magic!!

Great Aunt Alma was married to a miser...or how the story goes.

The minute he died...about...she headed to the diamond shop in downtown Boston and bought herself a one carat diamond ring.

When she died, she willed the ring to my grandmother, Edith.

My grandmother gave the ring eventually to my mother who was not a ring person but a poet.

My mother gave the diamond to me, her eldest daughter.

Five generations later, my dear girl is wearing the same stone.

The A-Ok was given by Daddy before he died..

Love and life continue.

It is all meant to be.
