FIVE years later, this waitress found me on facebook and still has the rock that i left her !  her name is nuria gil and she now lives in England. she said that she carries that rock with her everywhere she moves to.

  the word was “hope.”

    THANK U SO MUCH!!! im astonished to read my story on ur blog!! it sounds like a fairy tale 🙂

    I’m so happy to had found u as the stone was so meaningfull at the exactly moment u gave me and that makes it so special!! u can not imagin!!

    I tried to find u before to taLk to you and to know more about why u gave it to me as there were more people working in the restaurant and why HOPE.

    I saw the name wrote on the back of the rock so i tried to find more information. i found some web pages but none had ur picture so i supposed that u had bought the stone somewhere and maybe you could be another person.

    Now i’m living in England and facebook is imprescindible to know what’s going on so i decided to try and that’s when i found you!!! it’s almost unbelievable!!

    I was living in another places and i always carry the stone with me as an amulet

    THANKS AGAIN!!
    U DESERVE ALL THE BEST!! XXX
