In the world
filled with countless things, there must be some special objects that deeply influenced
you. Sometimes, however, it isn’t until we lose or miss them that we will truly
realize how important they are. People have tendency to learn from losses. Here
are two essays talking about their special lost objects. After losing their irreplaceable
necklaces, they truly grab the value of objects and hold some impressive
lessons which are deeply imprinted on their hearts as well as guiding their
lives.

Most people have some
certain objects that are important to them; for me, I have one as well. But not
until I lost it did I realize how crucial it was to me. Last year, I was in a
relationship with my boyfriend for four months, but we hadn’t got a token until
last Christmas. It was time for me to learn how to cherish after I received the
gift from my boyfriend.
I had relationship with my
boyfriend in September; however, I often quarreled with him. At last Christmas,
my boyfriend gave me a pair of necklace; the red one was mine, and the blue one
was his. When he gave me the red necklace, I still sat in sullen silence and
refused to respond. Without any
irritation, he said “I often made you angry, but I didn’t mean it. And the most
important thing is I want you to know that even when we are in fight, I still
stay with you just like this necklace. The necklace is a symbol of my love to
you.”
The necklace was very
exquisite and beautiful. For a long time, I loved it very much and I wore it
everywhere even when I was taking a shower. The necklace was in a clover shape
covered in emerald green. In the middle of four leaves was a small pink
rhinestone. In addition, the chains of the pair of necklace were sliver, and
his chain was a little longer than mine. At that time, whenever I feel panic or
anxious about my future or something unknown, I would keep caressing it. The
necklace made me stay calm and console as long as I touched it.
After I broke up with my
boyfriend, we still remained our friendship. Good time never lasts; however, I
suddenly felt extremely painful and betrayed when he didn’t reply my message.
Out of rage, I decided to throw the necklace away. I soon regretted it. I
rushed to the rubbish bin and tried to find it out from a mess. To my
disappointment, I never found it from that time. I was so repented for this
decision.
After so long, I gradually
realized that although I broke up with my boyfriend, the necklace is still a
proof of this precious relationship. The relationship could not be erased even
if I threw the necklace away. In the end, from the bitter lesson, I understood
the importance of neither taking anyone’s pay for granted nor making any
decision while you are in fury.

There are some
special objects that are essential in one’s life; for me, it is a cross
necklace which my dad gave me when I was a fifth grader. My dad gave the
necklace to me when he became a Christian. He wanted to show me the love of God
and said that God would help me overcome all the obstacles. I regretted badly
that I had not believed in him and made a wrong decision after receiving the
present. Years later, I finally realized the message my father had sent to me
through the cross necklace.
I was totally
surprised when the cross necklace came into view on my birthday party. The
cross was in sliver with no decoration on it, very simple but beautiful. I was
delighted and couldn’t believe that my dad gave me such a pretty accessory. He
usually bought book or stationery for me as a birthday gift. When he told me
that the cross represented God’s love, I couldn’t understand at all. Then, Dad
said, “I know that you feel confused now. You can keep it as your amulet. One
day, you will realize the message.” After that day, I always wore it, until the
day I lost it.
I lost the cross
necklace because of my act out of blind impulse. I was in a rebellious phase
during junior high school so that I refused to follow my parents’ advice and
acted harshly. One day, I was mad at my dad’s words and couldn’t control my
anger. Then, I made a decision. I threw the necklace into the river, watching
it flashing away down the stream. That day, I saw my father’s most sorrowful
appearance, and it was caused by me.
While growing up,
I eventually knew the message my dad wanted to deliver to me through the
necklace. The necklace was a meaning of Dad and God’s love. Whenever I was in
trouble, I could grasp it tightly in my palm and pray to God. “You are not
alone,” which is the message. I regretted to throw the cross necklace away. The
precious gift no longer exists. However, the image of the cross would be kept
in my heart forever, like wearing an invisible necklace.
Today, I still
think of the necklace. It reminds me to treasure the things I have and share my
problems with God rather than solving it by myself. Although the cross necklace
can never be found again, its image and message will never be forgotten.
