Ok so basically I want someone to tell me I'm not insane as OH supports but doesn't understand my decision.
Here's the back story. I was given a ring for my 16th birthday by my grandparents (no longer here). I loved that ring soo much and wore it everyday for everything, my wedding, birth of DDS etc.
Last year I lost the sapphire from it. I looked everywhere but couldn't find it. I felt sad. So I decided to replace the stone.
I went to pick it up and forgot my purse so had to go back. 24hours after I got it back bad things started to happen. OH had flu over Xmas, I had flu and cracked a rib coughing. The kids got chicken pox, OH got shingles, horse coliced, I then had a chest infection, suspected asthma and another chest infection. There's other stuff too. I just couldn't look at the ring without thinking of all the bad luck that happened since I got it back.
Finally decided to sell it. It went today. I miss what my ring was but at the end of the day it's a piece of jewellery that I no longer associated with living grandparents, just a new gem that came at the same time as a bad year. Am I nuts?
