In my junior year of high school, I was in the midst of a terrible depression. I had no desire to go into therapy, because that would mean admitting that I wasn’t normal – that I needed help. Thoughts of suicide often plagued my trouble mind and my only alleviation was to visit my best friend, Rachel. She understood and empathized without elaborate discussion or superficial preaching. She had an infallible way of making laugh; drying the salty streams that flowed down the contours of my cheeks. When the time came for her to move, I realized what exactly I was losing. I had always played the role of devoted friend, and never once had my friendship been returned equally. Knowing my mental condition, Rachel pleaded with both our parents to allow me to move with her. Both parties consented and I spent a year as her sister. In that year, I grew up and began to find my own strength because I had her security. Even now, I’m crying as I type this, knowing that Rachel deserves more than a gold friendship ring, but it’s a small gesture for a debt that wants not to be repaid.

Rachel and her friend are now the proud owners of matching, 14K White Gold, Anam Cara Rings!
