Candy Ring

My father, Bill, gave my step mother, Kenyon, a candy ring when they were married in 1986. It was some temporary thing/joke, but I bet it was metaphoric.

I'm not sure of the significance, but I theorize that it represents me giving up eating candy, drinking Coca Cola, using my Commodore computer, eating chicken, etc (all C things) as a 13 yr old boy when I moved in with them.

Those items became non-existent in my life as their household was much healthier than my previous one and Kenyon was mostly vegetarian.

The timing is also pretty on the mark for when cocaine (C) went out of fashion in 1987. Based on my Alphabet Wheel theory C and K (Kenyon) are the same. They are just on opposite sides of their own 3rd wheel.

So, perhaps giving up all those C things was a trade off for actually living with Kenyon, as my new stepmother. I would now be giving an actual person who represented C/K the attention I used to give the material things starting with those letters.

NOTE: I am now also remembering that my father met my birth mother, Sharon, when she and her best friend, Candy, picked him up when he was hitchhiking (1971-ish). He seemingly could have chosen between my mom and Candy to hook up with but chose my mom and eventually I was conceived in 1972 and born in 1973.

Is there a parallel between my step mom Kenyon and Candy and me giving up candy/coke at the time? Candy (who I used to call Aunt Candy) was also a vegetarian and had a very healthy household when my mom and I lived with her when I was 9.
