Then,only one month later,I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually,I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later,we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed,and a couple of moves later,I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn't my birthday,nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You'll recognize this one,” she said,smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations,which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it,they realized who owned the ring.They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.
