Lost…

I lost my wedding and engagement rings last Friday. :-(

No, they were not just simply misplaced at home. It was a big-time foolishness on my part because it was only on Saturday afternoon that I realized they were missing. Hubby and I were about to leave for the mall and I ran to grab my rings that I normally keep on top of the drawers. But they were not there and it occurred to me that I went home last Friday evening without them on my finger. I really panicked and don’t know what to do. I want to go and look for them but I don’t where to start. The last I recalled was that I removed them Friday morning while washing my mug at the pantry and put them in the shallow pocket of my jeans. Then, they slipped off my mind and didn’t remember them until that Saturday afternoon.

I know I’m not really fond of jewelleries but those where among the few that I have that meant so much for me. It was the sentimental value that I was after. No other rings can replace them. I was so down no matter how much Hubby comforted me not to think about them and we’ll just order the same rings from the jewellers in the Philippines. Even attending two parties that Sunday and eating Filipino fiesta dishes did not took my mind off them. I kept on hoping I dropped them in the office so I can asked the cleaners if they noticed it and not in the supermarket where we it will be impossible to find them again.

And Found!!!

This morning, I came in the office a few minutes earlier than usual. I crawled under my table hoping I just dropped them there and I traced my usual route going in and out of the building. Then the Workplace Resources staff replied to my email telling me that found items are usually turned over to the Security Office. I didn’t waste time and dialled the Security Office’s number and inquired if, for some chance, my rings were found and turned over to their office. And the reply is, “Yeah, a couple of rings were found in the ladies toilet. Have a look if they’re yours.”

Despite the rain and cold, I ran to the other building while praying that hopefully those rings were mine. Indeed, THEY WERE MINE!

Thank God!

I was so inspired with the honesty of the people here. They would not dare get things that do not belong to them. God bless their hearts!
