Feel like I lost a part of him that was always with me

[FairyGodmother]

My boyfriend gave me a beautiful charm bracelet for our 1 year 6 month anniversary. It had one charm on it, with two hearts intertwined. That was just before I left to a different country for a few months (where I am currently studying), and he said it was so our hearts would always be together.

 

I loved it so much, and look at it often when I am missing him. However, I looked down today and it was gone I am really upset right now! I looked all over my room, and I haven't found it. I also looked around on the ground outside while I was walking to a class, but didn't see it. I don't remember the last time I saw it, or where I was, and to be honest I've been alot of places on campus in the past few days.

 

I know it's just a charm and that it might be petty to be this upset, but it meant so much to me. I can't help it... I'm just really sad right now. I guess, at least, wherever it is our hearts are still together? *Sigh*

I know how you feel I lost my first engagement ring about four years ago and I was utterly devastated. My husband gave it to me when he was a 21-year-old poor student and I loved it to death.

 

I am sorry.

Awww. I understand. It's not the item, itself, but what it meant. I'm that way, too. Maybe it will turn up, but if not, try and focus on the fact that it was a symbol of your boyfriend's love - but losing it doesn't mean anything more than that you've lost the charm. You didn't lose him or his love for you.

yeah I agree it is so upsetting isn't it ..it's not the monetary value is the emotional value ...

 

don't laugh (ha)

 

but when I lose something I ask the angels to guide me to it ....

Victoria - Oh no, that's awful! There are so many things of sentimental value that are easy to lose Maybe if I get an engagement ring with a rock bigger than the drain hole, I'll never lose it! I think that's the clear solution here

 

Heather - You're right. Thanks, I will try to remind myself that it's just a charm, and that we still have each other which is all that matters

 

Shooting Star - I honestly have no idea how much money it was worth as it was a gift, but I'm going to assume not much (since we're students). You're spot on about the emotional value, I don't think I've ever gotten that attached to anything just because it was expensive. It's always things that loved ones give me!
