On Saturday, September 20, a wildfire broke loose in Weed, California, and burned down the house of the Cervantes family. After the fire had burned down their house to rubble, they were down in the the ashes of their once standing home, looking for the wedding ring of Mrs. Cervantes. The wedding ring belonged to her for 40 years. She had taken off her ring to wash dishes, and didn't get a chance to grab it before she had to evacuate the house from the wild fire. After the fire had died down, her family and local firefighters, were sifting through the rubble to find anything left from what once was their home. Against all odds, the group was able to sift out the wedding ring. Now it is covered in ashes and has been a bit burned, but the symbolism is very important. The family had lived in their house that their father made with his bare hands. All the finances they had in the house was cash and jewelry that had all had been burned away in the fire, but, with the special wedding ring found, it will give them just a glimmer of hope into the hard process of rebuilding their home.
If you had lost something just as precious too in a similar accident, would you go the extra mile against all odds to try to find that precious item, and how far would you go?

Good job but again, be sure to reply more frequently. Also, be sure to hyperlink correctly.
It depends on what it is. If it was something very valuable to me or my family, I would maybe try and go that extra mile.
I would try and get the most important things to me in the fire. I would also have all of my stuff in a spot so I can grab it all at the same time if something like this would happen when I have my own house
Maybe, maybe not. If I had something I really loved still in that rubble, I'd go in to look for it, but not specifically that. After your house burns down, I would think that your first priority is that making sure everyone is okay, then going through the ashes and rubble to see what you can sift out. If I find my precious item, great, but I'm not spending a whole lot of extra time searching for it when I can be worrying abut other things.
That is very true. Many things that can be lost are easily replaceable, but if it has the chance to be there in the rubble, there is still a part of us that wants to find it, but we won't spend all of our time looking for it.
I don't think they even looked that hard for it. If your house burns down, you look through it to see what is still there. They didn't go the extra mile to find just the wedding ring.
If was very important maybe, but if the whole house was burned down I wouldn't bother trying to find it because it probably burned up.
If it was very, very important to me, I would do everything I could to recover it. This would be great symbolism with how love can withstand everything, of course that's a bit too chick-flick like for me.
yes because i will found till i have it
I probably would have tried, i wouldn't really think about it really after loosing everything of mine, it probably wouldn't be the first thing popping into my mind.
