This morning mom woke me up at 9 am. She said, "Marie, there is a ring and a set of tweezers in the toilet", and me being half asleep I told her that it wasn't mine and I rolled over lol! She then made me come look. I went to the bathroom and the toilet water was low and foggy and sticking out of that little hole was a set of rusty old dirty tweezers, and then sitting right on the bottom was a sludge covered ring. I knew right away after 15 years of last seeing it that it was Mom's diamond engagement ring! She had lost it, knowing that it was down the flush because she left it on the vanity, when I was 5 or 6 years old. I took a pair of tweezers and went into the dirty water not caring and pulled out the ring. We washed it off, and sure enough it was her ring! She had missed that ring so much and it is such a beautiful, ring she almost cried she didn't believe it! I then went downstairs with it looking perfect on my left hand lol and calmly told Dad that Gordie had asked me to marry him lol! Mom says that he almost took a stroke and I told him that it was Mom's lost one! I don't know what he was more suprised about, that we found the ring, or that Gordie and I were getting married lol! It's hard to believe after 15 years that a little ring could come back but it did! After almost 30 years of marriage, Mom has her engagement ring back, and what perfecting timing for a Valentines Day present! I guess anything is possible in this house lol!
