The Ring

September 28, 2011

A girl was sitting on a chair at the gas station she worked at. She looked up and saw her boyfriend walk in. As he was looking at snacks, a man walked in and pointed a gun at her. He had been admiring her ring her boyfriend had given to her as a token of his love. When he asked her to give it to him, she said no.

Her boyfriend looked up just in time to see her shot. He ran over to the killer and hit him on the head with a hammer that was for sale. Then he ran and called 911. When the ambulance came, he was sobbing uncontrollably near his girlfriend.

The doctor came over and felt for her pulse. He told the boyfriend that she was still alive.
Later at the hospital, as he was sitting beside her, he asked, "Why didn't you just give him the ring?" and then she softly spoke
"Because when you gave it to me, you said it was part of your love for me and I knew if I gave him the ring, I would lose that love."

The next day, she was pronounced dead.

I was just walking in the park when I saw a family gathering and wearing black. I went to check it out and it was a funeral. When I looked around, I saw a young man crying on his knee. This made me think of this story.
