The Ring

[primrose_1]

I'm reposting this from my other blog because apparently some of my friends couldn't read it there.  It's a good story, but unfortunately the ring is still not found.  I've run out of the obvious places to look, and am kind of relying on a small miracle to drop it in my lap some afternoon.

This made me cry. So touching and yet at the same time a little devestating. *rubs heart*

Thank you for posting it here.

I was heartbroken! There is a KIND of a funny part to this story, however. I've been hinting ALL YEAR LONG that I would like a claddagh ring for my right hand. I was NOT a subtle hinter. I told my husband things like "A claddagh ring would be really romantic for Valentine's Day" I gave him my ring size. Over the summer at the Shakespearian festival, I found a claddagh ring pendant, and showed it to him and said, "I want one of these, not on a pendant." When I lost my ring, I said something about maybe getting that claddagh ring to wear on my left hand instead until we find it. My husband looked at me and said, "What's a claddagh ring?" *SIGH*

BWAH!! Oh, the poor lad. Sometimes it's best just to get it for yourself, and tell them thank you anyway. ;)

My hubs snagged my claddagh ring from the dresser one day -- on a day he knew I couldn't wear it due to work restrictions -- and used it to size my engagment ring. Sneaky little devil, isn't he?

I hope with all my might that you find your ring some day. This was a beautiful story. If anything, at least this will stay with you forever. <3

That's what finally occurred to me- the story is the most important part of that ring :) But I still hope I find it! Thank you!

I really really hope you find your ring soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and I'm sending you good vibes all the way accross the ocean, I hope they get there ;)
