Here is the skinny. A long time ago probably in the 70’s, in Toronto– my father was dating this really pretty girl. I can’t remember her name—however he does. But, for some reason she gave my father her grand-mothers engagement ring. This thing was like a family heirloom. It was an antique classic—by far the most beautiful Scottish ring I have ever seen in my life. I asked my dad since she never got in contact with him if I could have it. He always told me, “no”. So, I asked him a couple of years ago if I could have it if I tried looking for her and by doing everything in my power to find her. To say the least I still could not find her. I tried my hardest. I opened up the phone book and began making phone calls to her last name. I don’t remember her name at this moment. And even if I did I wouldn’t post it—her name or my fathers, because the last thing I need are people who this ring doesn’t belong to o–saying it’s theirs. I often wondered why anyone would give their families ring away like that. I know I have been in love, but I don’t think I would give something that precious away to someone who I was not married too. I also wondered if she loved him enough to give him that ring, she obviously would remember his name. And let’s face it; men are easier to track down then women. I’m sure she got married or moved out of the country and had kids. She is probably around the same age as my dad (59 years). If she loved him that intensely you’d think she would Google his name, or his brothers last name—which is all over the internet—get in contact with him and then find my dad AND the ring. Anyways, I thought posting this link might be a good idea, since I Google several things and usually get yahoo.answers.com frequently.
Lady, if you are out there, please, send a message to this link—with your name, so I can match it with the name that I have. I really hope I can make a connection. My sister is getting married in a couple of months and I can only imagine if we still had a grandmother who was alive or any of her items how nice it would be to get them on our wedding. I’m sure this woman has daughters or sons—who have kids who would love this precious heirloom.
