The Christmas Diamond | A Forgotten Tree and a Shimmering Discovery

Fast forward to the next Christmas.
The festive spirit felt muted, weighed down by the burdens of life.
Decorations came down with a sigh, the tree bundled away and forgotten in a corner of the storage shed.
Lost amongst discarded bags and chewed-up hoses, it endured a year of neglect, a silent witness to the passage of time.
When the next December dawned, the tree re-emerged, battered and forlorn.
As she unfolded its dusty branches, a wave of memories washed over her – her mother, the rings, the promise she had made.
And then, a shiver, sudden and inexplicable, gooseflesh erupting on her arms.
A glint of light caught her eye.
A tiny diamond, nestled on a branch, as if placed there by an invisible hand.
Tears blurred her vision as she cradled the stone in her palm.
This was no trick of the light, no fragment of a forgotten dream.
It was real.
