Today an amazing thing happened and that give's me hope that anything is possible. My son called me this morning from Sweetwater. He said he had been out to the city dump throwing some stuff away as he is remodeling his house. He said he found a beautiful senior ring and it had the name, Brent Fite- 1981 on it. It was yellow gold and had a clear stone and had a red S in the middle of the stone (for Sweetwater). He ask me if I would put it on facebook and see if anyone knew this person.
I got on facebook and put it on several groups that sell and buy stuff. Two ladies contacted me that they knew this person. One lady talked to him and he said he hadn't seen that ring since 1982. This lady said that was awesome that someone could find it after all this time. I told them to ask the guy if he would get in contact with me.
He did and we chatted a lot tonight. He said the story is he had a girlfriend that he had given it too. After they broke up when he moved to Big Springs where he was roughnecking, she gave it to a friend of his to give to him. That friend said it disappeared off his console of his car. That was in 1982 and he never heard about it again.
The next year he was in a car accident and broke his neck a week before his 20th birthday and has been in a wheelchair for almost 31 years. That was a horrible thing to happen and this made me even happier to know we found his ring for him.
How a ring ended up in the city dump and my son found it today when it hadn't been seen for 31 years is just amazing to me. That is just such a coincidence that my son was at the right place where that ring fell into his hands. It needed to get back home to Brent.
I don't know if we can ever figure out how it got to the city dump. And still be in great shape. Maybe somebody had it in a box or something they took to the dump. What do you think Judy? Your the mystery writer. I am the wannabe one.
