My Ring

 

I was born and raised in Thailand. My dad is Thai and my mom is Filipina. My family used to live with my grandmother when I was born and I left her when I was three years old. Because of my dad got a job at another province. Generally my great grandma (in my dad's side) came from Burma and she moved to Chiang Mai which is a province in Thailand that is close to Burma. My great grandma earned her income by selling the jewelry. She sold ruby, diamond and gold. Before she passed away, she gave my grandma (who is my father's mother) a ring. This ring composed of ruby and a little diamond around the ruby. I eventually was given this ring before I came to the US (Year 2003). My grandma gave me because she believes that this ring is going to protect me from an evil things. Thank you grandma, I will keep this ring safely.
