After Thirteen Years
Thirteen years had passed by and the ring that she knew was lurking somewhere in her garden remained buried at an unknown place. Many things had changed by the time 2017 arrived. Now the farm is occupied by her son Brian and his wife Colleen. However, the farm is taken care of in the same way as she used to take in her time. Just like her mother-in-law, Colleen used to harvest the vegetables for lunch or dinner. As usual one evening Colleen was harvesting the vegetables when she found something really historical.

One Carrot Diamond
Have you seen something like this before? Isn’t it amazing! Dailey explained, “I knew it had to belong to either grandma or my mother-in-law because no other women have lived on that farm.” It was confirmed that the just found ring was Mary’s lost engagement souvenir. Now the only thing left was to give it back to her. On the very next day when her granddaughter brought her the carrot tightly clad with her ring, she could not believe her eyes. She said, “A sort of happy feeling went through [me] and I said, ‘It can’t be possible — yet here it is!” How much had she tried at that time to find it but it came out now after more than a decade when she had lost all the hopes of finding it. Mary recalls the emotional moment “I recognised it right away, they found it yesterday when my daughter-in-law was digging carrots for supper.”
