Boy who hasn't had something like that happen! That awful wave of panic that washes over you....then fortunately when it turns up the relief that's so great you almost pee yourself. lol
JoJo, I actually did have this happen to me once, even though I originally wrote this as fiction. It did happen and I did find my diamond. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
cynk, I came close once. I took a ring off to wash my hands and it flew right down the drain. I panicked and had the neighbor man come over and take the sink apart...there was my ring in the elbow! I can not tell you how relieved I was! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
I have felt this panic before! It's a horrible feeling, but such sweet relief when we find what we're looking for. (This happened with a necklace my kids got me for Mother's Day... the clasp had come loose and the engraved heart slid off the chain while I was on a women's retreat. I retraced my steps and sifted through pine needles and finally found it... it had dropped into my overnight bag!)
holli, oh no! That is awful! Thank God you did have insurance. I hope you were able to replace it. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
Shilpa, what a blessed surprise that must have been. I thanked God a million times when I looked down and spied mine in my lap. I took it and the setting to the jewelers and they reset it and fixed it good as new. So glad I did find it! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
