However, as the years went on, he was the only child to still possess the only artifact he had of his late father. The diameter of the ring is no more than an inch in width, yet still has the capability to produce a tremendous sense of symbolism. The frameset of it is as gold, as gold itself with an arrow on both sides pointing south. On top of it lies a brown hue oval stone about the size of a pinky nail, but when looking down upon it seems as if it is as large as the universe. When worn, it feels as if time had made it the perfect moment to be passed on to me, because it fits more eloquently than a key to a lock hole, a shoe to a foot, an eyeglass to a pair of frames, and, obviously, a ring held tightly on a finger. Written inside the ring are the three letters R. C. L. in cursive, my grandfather’s initials. As if he signed it himself leaving his own personal identity on the ring
