I have a special jewelry story. Four years ago, my father died suddenly. It was such a shock and tragedy. He was only 49. My whole family took it really bad. But I think I took it the worst, since he died at my house and I found him. That night after we all left the hospital, my mother came into my room and sat on my bed. She looked so sad, I will never forget that look. She took my hand and gave me hers and my fathers wedding rings. I looked at her in shock. She said he would want you to have them. I told her I would treasure them forever! One of my sisters was upset she did not get one. She just got engaged, and I went to my mother and said maybe we should give "Lu" your engagement ring. My mother said OK, if it is alright with you. It wasn't but I loved my sister so I said OK. To make a long story short. A year later my sisters marriage didn't work out. I noticed she didn't wear the ring anymore, so I asked her where it was? She said "away". Well come to find out she pawned it! How could she of did this! I was so upset. I prayed to my father to bring the ring back to me where it belonged! With the other rings. Three months later, my mother called me. She said "guess what?" I said what? She said I got the ring back!!!. I was shock and asked her how? The ring she had was specially made and one of a kind. She said a friend of hers was shopping and spotted it in a pawn shop and recognized it as my mothers and bought it! To this day I still think my father sent her friend into that shop that day! Thanks DAD!!
