[post_page_title]Passed down through the family[/post_page_title]
There’s a reason her boyfriend took offense to the rejection of his engagement ring, and it’s because of its sentimental attachment. He hadn’t just picked up some cheap piece of jewelry in a second-hand store – it had been passed down to him by his mother.
She’d wanted him to have it so it could bring as much joy and love to his partner as it had done her. With her husband no longer around, it seemed pointless holding on to the ring when someone else could wear it instead.
