This Woman Had Lost Something Very Precious More Than A Decade Ago But Found it In The Most Unexpected Way!

Done With The Job!

Even though she did not have gloves and any other equipment, she decided to go without them. Mary extracted all the weeds with her bare hands and after completing the task she went inside the house to do her other work. Till then she did not realize what had happened to her. Surprisingly, it took her several hours to notice the horrible change. Her face discolored when she found out about that.

Something’s Missing

After a while, her ring finger caught her attention while doing the daily chores. And then she started looking here and there desperately. She had lost the engagement ring that Norman gave her in 1951. She had it with her for the last 50 years and now suddenly it was gone! The worst thing was that she had no idea where and when did it fall. It took a while to realize that the ring would have fallen in the garden while taking out the weeds. She sprinted towards the field and checked each and every strand of weed. Mary said, “I got on my hands and knees and looked all over and I could not find it.” She continued searching for her ring the whole day but it was to no avail. That very night she cried hard until she slept. It was not just a ring for her, it was much more than that.

Losing It Forever

She did not tell anyone about her loss of the ring, not even Norman. For days she continued looking for the ring. But each time her hope of finding the ring remained a far-fetched dream. She said “we looked high and low on our hands and knees,” she further added “We couldn’t find it. I thought for sure either they rototilled it or something happened to it.” Gradually she began believing that she would never be able to find the ring. Even after so many days, she kept it a secret from her husband. She narrates “I didn’t tell him, even, because I thought for sure he’d give me heck or something.” But there was someone who knew about this!

Secret

Though Mary did not let anyone know about the ring, she did confide in her son Brian. Brian like every obeying son listened to his mother and promised to keep it a secret. Now the big question before Mary was that how and for how long would she be able to keep it a secret? Because she knew everyone would ask her about the ring if they find her finger denuded of the asset. There was no way she could tell Norman. She had to plan something. What she did next was unbelievable!

What Next

On the very next day of getting the idea, Mary visited a jeweler. She bought herself the cheapest engagement ring available there. Just imagine how bad would have she felt at that time as she had to substitute her diamond ring with something much cheaper. But the ring had surely solved her problem. Astonishingly, no one realized that the ring she was wearing was a fake one, not even her husband, let alone the world. However, she, later on, admitted: “Maybe I did the wrong thing, but you get so worked up.” This secret remained a secret until the time the woman revealed it on her own.

After Thirteen Years

Thirteen years had passed by and the ring that she knew was lurking somewhere in her garden remained buried at an unknown place. Many things had changed by the time 2017 arrived. Now the farm is occupied by her son Brian and his wife Colleen. However, the farm is taken care of in the same way as she used to take in her time. Just like her mother-in-law, Colleen used to harvest the vegetables for lunch or dinner. As usual one evening Colleen was harvesting the vegetables when she found something really historical.
