A Timeless Treasure: The Sentimental Ring That Connects Me to My Childhood Home

Audrey Lamb

I have immense fondness for my childhood, so one of my most treasured possessions is a ring my mother found in my childhood home, a house that is more than 100 years old. At first, she kept it for herself. After eyeing it and making the not-so-subtle hint of, “You should let me have that,” however, she gave it to me. I haven’t taken it off since. I’ve always found simple things to be beautiful, and that’s what this ring is. It’s a little piece of home I can have with me at all times.
