Theengagement ringhas special significance for McPhee because it reminds her of more than just her happy future: it makes her think of the last conversation she had with herlate father, who died just weeks after she was proposed to.
“He was so happy for me,” theWaitressalum shared on Instagram. “My ring was the last thing I showed my dad before he passed and makes me smile when I look at this as a reminder of our last conversation. … My love wisely said to me the other day that ‘death is the only thing that is 100 percent inevitable and the thing we are least prepared for.’ So today we’re celebrating life and not forgetting love.”
