I met Rick on the day he married my wife's best friend...even in all what goes on during a wedding, he acted like we were old friends...over the years, the friendship grew. Rick served as a Marine, and later working for the gas utility of northern California named PG &E. Right as he was getting ready to retire from his job, he received his inheritance from his mom and dad's estate...they were set financially. Then an aggressive cancer spread throughout his body, and in less than a year he was gone. His wife posted this on Facebook today.
Wow, there are so many parts to this story. I will explain some of them later but for now I will just share a little. Friday morning while talking to my BFF __________ on the phone I received a package at my door from a stranger, yes someone I have never meet or seem before. He rang the doorbell, I was Not quite ready for the day. He rang the bell again. When I didn’t answer he set the package on the chair by the door and headed to his car. I watched through the peephole as he walked away. He stood by his car for a few minutes, when I decided to open the door, I asked “can I help you” he said the package is for you and have a good day. He then got in his car and drove away. Well inside this package was a envelope with a letter inside, as I opened it and saw the first word I screamed and immediately started to cry, poor Debbie on the other end. I cried hysterically for a few and tried to tell her who it was from. Are you ready? It was from RICK! And inside the package was a beautiful ring that he had bought for me years ago. I had lost the diamond out of it and he said “well I guess we need to go to the jewelers” haha. He told me to replace the diamond or me would. I never did. Well he did! It’s simply amazingly beautiful. I love the pink diamond. Here is the letter and a picture of the ring. Enjoy the read!
