In the old days it was enough that your baby was healthy and the Baby was the Trophy; A living, breathing showcase of a miracle and labor of love. I'd rather have a baby than a ring anyday! A ring can't write a blog, or have such a following of readers. A ring can't be the Lawn Whisperer. A ring can't mow my lawn or shovel my snow. A ring can't bring home the Christmas Tree, a ring can't help me with finances. A ring can't help me with tax and law situations. A ring can't help me with electrical or construction problems. A ring can't call me everyday to make sure I'm okay. Give me a baby anyday! They are worth more than gold and rubies and diamonds. They are LOVE! They grow up and are such wonderful human beings.
