The Engagement Ring That Was Found After Thirty Six Long Years
There are some fortunate couples who stand by one another during their lives. Despite being together for quite a while, they just don't tire of making one another chuckle. The journey of Terry and Donna Claver is one that may appear to be a fairytale. According to a GreatFallsTribune.com report, Terry and Donna Claver have been together for nearly 40 years. The Clavers are a respected couple in the local community and have 3 children as well as several grandkids. Their marriage has been able to endure all odds since they took their wedding vows in 1973. The only thing absent was the engagement ring that the couple accidentally lost thirty six years ago.
Donna and Terry's first meeting
Donna and Terry were an incredibly unlikely pair. While Donna was a hippie who relocated to Stanford to get away from her life in Fargo, Terry was a new high school graduate who planned to go to Bible College. At once striking up a rapport, Donna and Terry opted to wed after only 3 dates. Terry was newly appointed in the U.S. Forest Service whilst Donna was still out of work.
Strengthening the bond
While in search of engagement rings, they knew that diamonds were too costly and instead picked a gorgeous pink synthetic sapphire. The engagement ring was not just budget friendly but in addition reminded them of one of their dates while they spent the evening viewing shooting stars. The Clavers quickly wedded and settled into their very first house, a single bedroom dwelling. After one year, they were expecting their first child. One fateful day, when Donna entered the restroom to apply lotion, she didn't know that she would never see her ring again.
How the ring was lost
Accidentally dropping it in the commode, Terry and Donna tried really hard to retrieve it but with no success. The engagement ring was wedged solid in the toilet and would not budge in spite of how hard Terry tried. In spite of losing the engagement ring, the Clavers continued a cheerful life. Over time, the Clavers sold their house to buy a bigger residence for their growing family. The previous house was resold to a lot of people over the years and was never torn down. It was in 2006 that a group of Florida hunters acquired the home to use it every fall for a couple of weeks as a hunting cabin. By now, Terry and Donna had abandoned the idea of ever finding the ring.
Terry's lucky day
Terry and his son were recently on the job while replacing the roof of a residence opposite to their old dwelling. It was then that Terry spotted the hunters dumping their old toilet. Terry suddenly saw wishes of rescuing the lost sapphire ring and immediately jumped to assist them. After convincing the hunters that he would remove the commode for them, Terry used his sledgehammer to take apart the toilet. Sure enough, the ring was still intact in the toilet. Even though Terry was aware that the gold would not erode, he did not expect the stone to maintain its dazzling color. When Donna saw the ring, she was totally excited. This story has become the holiday season's supper conversation at the Clavers' home.
