So good to hear you had fun watching it; thanks for checking it out! And thank you for sharing that story of your grandmother. You always have extra bonus stories to share, and I love them. I think it's so beautiful that you have your grandmother's birthstone ring.
To my absolute horror, as a teenager, I lost my mum's engagement ring while swimming at the beach! But I guess she forgave me because following my dad's passing, my mum gifted me an emerald ring that he had bought her some time ago. I find it comforting and cherished reminder of their love.
That sounds horrifying to lose you mom's engagement ring as a teenager! I'm so glad the story ends with her gifting you a ring that's so meaningful.
Also fun to hear you narrate your video with your lovely accent. Love that Substack has been a place to connect with people across oceans. I think it makes our smaller words feel wider.
I'm curious to know when your birthday is, Rebecca! 🥳 I'd be both shocked and fascinated to learn that. I'll check out the link you sent; I've saved it to read later.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your birthday cake 🎂
Great video, Susan. So fun to watch your process in action.
And Happy Birthday! After I lost my wedding ring so long ago, I started wearing my grandmother's birthstone ring and she was born in November.

How lovely - thank you so much for a beautiful post! And happy birthday (it's my birthday month, too!)! 🥳
To my amusement, when I was in my thirties I found out (to my shock!) when it was I had been conceived.... Have you ever done the maths...? 😉 https://rebeccaholden.substack.com/p/107-years-in-arrears

Ooooh, well, it was last week! 🥳 I haven't published the actual date because of online security etc etc - but let's just say that I've had it. 😁
Fair point, and it’s good to preserve a sense of mystery anyways ☺️♏️ 🎉
Happy birthday!🎂
Thank you, Wren! I just had another carrot cake 😋☺️
