Everybody knows that when your relationship is fresh, all you are concerned about is keeping everything in good standing. Pleasing your other half is of tantamount importance. But along the way to this pleasant path of peace and tranquility, sometimes there can be some sacrifices that are really quite painful.

The way you were always used to living has been replaced with an eagerness to please your wife. After all, marriage is supposed to be a sacrifice, right? If you really love someone, you will not mind making the necessary sacrifices to please her, right? But as you mold yourself into this new man, some of the things you loved about the old man, slowly make their exit from your life.

She is heading to your new home to get things ready, while you stay behind to clean things up and meet her there later. To have the money needed for this transition, you stay behind to do some odd jobs and haul off the trash. If you do the jobs, you will have enough to cover the move. She counted everything down to the penny.

The next day she kisses you goodbye. She boxed up everything to be thrown away, and says she will see you in three days to start your new life together, and she really loves you. Everything is boxed up. As you start to put the things out on the truck, you notice, there is your best golf instruction book, the one you learned to play from years ago, so dear to your heart, and now put into a box to be thrown away.

You need every penny, it has all been accounted for, and you have no way of backing out. You lined up some work with your neighbors, and it is enough to get what you need done. Doing the work does not bother you, but that book must be saved. You try to convince yourself that she is certainly worth it, and it is not such a big sacrifice to throw things out, but it can not hurt to keep your book. Then you pull out the leather watch that your Dad bought you for pitching the winning all star game when you played in little league. Your heart sinks again. You surely can not part with that.

You are a little sick at your stomach, as you try to carry on with the packing. It seems almost like a mild form of shock. You almost lost, in only minutes, two extremely important parts of your life. As you grab an old baseball glove from the last box, a rhodium plated ring falls out. You instantly recognize it as the ring they presented you with at a ceremony held in your honor from the boys club. It was to honor you for ten years of loyal service in working with the kids in your community.

You begin to wonder how you let things get so out of hand. You realize that just because these things hold much value for you, that she could not have known. Some things only have meaning for the people who know about them. You know it is not her fault. But you also realize, that you are responsible for keeping your life and memories alive, because it just is not possible for anyone else to appreciate them like you. And that love can be good, but can sometimes come down hard on you.
