What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?
I will admit to hanging onto things for a very long time, but today the oldest thing I’m wearing today is my skin. HAHA! It is sixty-six years old and although it has seen better days, a little worn and out of shape from the day I received it, it is serving me well.
Right after I wrote that, I realized I am wearing my mother’s initial ring on my pinky finger. It has her initials EP on it.
I don’t know how old she was when she received it, but if I were to say she got it as a high school graduation gift, that would make it 86 years old.
Her ring is the oldest thing I’m wearing today. After my skin 😉

What a beautiful post! Your mother’s ring carries not just age, but generations of love, memories, and family history. And the humor about your “66-year-old skin” made me smile. Treasures like these are truly priceless.
