When my grandma was a little girl she had bought this plain silver ring that was nothing special but now it means the world. She was just a little girl living in Italy with her family with very little. When she cane overboard to the stares she had my mom. When my mother grew up she was given this plain silver ring for her daughter to have one day. So my grandma passed it on to my mom in hopes that me, her daughter, would receive one day. So my mother had met my dad and eventually had two beautiful baby boys. My mom didn’t know what to do with this ring from the streets if Italy which framed who we were in life. 7 years after having these boys she was blessed with a beautiful girl. When I turned 17 I was given this ring. One being told what it was I’ve cherished it ever since. Everyday I look and make sure that the ring is always there. This ring was my crazy Italian family in this little object. Being able to know that I can passbook this down to my daughter one day truly is great.
