Lost engagement ring found in toilet 21 years later
A diamond engagement ring that was accidentally flushed down a toilet in Florida 21 years ago has been returned to its owners in a heartwarming turn of events. Nick and Shaina Day were not yet married when the ring went down the toilet at Nick’s parents’ house. Shaina had been cleaning around the sink when she grabbed the ring by mistake and threw it away with a piece of toilet paper. She later realized what had happened and alerted Nick, who immediately began trying to find the lost ring.
The couple went to great lengths in their search for the ring, with Nick even climbing into the septic tank to try to find it. Despite their efforts, the ring remained lost and the couple eventually gave up hope of finding it. They went on to get married and start a family, but the lost ring remained a painful reminder of the accident.
Little did they know, the ring was still there all along, lodged inside the toilet. It wasn’t until last month, when a plumber was replacing the toilet at Nick’s parents’ house, that the ring was finally discovered. The plumber handed it over to Nick’s parents, who decided to keep it a secret until Christmas Day, when they presented it to the couple as a surprise gift.
When Nick and Shaina opened the wrapped package and saw the ring, they knew exactly what it was. The couple was overjoyed and emotional at the thought of finally being reunited with the lost ring. They said they learned a valuable lesson from the experience, advising others to always check their toilets when they lose things.
The story of the lost ring has touched the hearts of many, with people sharing the couple’s Facebook post and commenting on the power of hope and the joy of unexpected reunions. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, even when things seem lost forever, there is always a chance of them being found again. In this case, it took 21 years, but the ring was eventually returned to its rightful owners, bringing a much-needed dose of happiness and closure.
