Gift given: March 09, 2007

The little wooden box contains items of the three most important person in his life. The heart shaped stone from his former girlfriend symbolizes the long-term (3 years) relationship they had and the loss he has suffered, after she choose another direction. The pendant of Virgin Mary given to Ricardo when being very small, was destined for protecting him from bad, holding the good things for him. The cross was owned by his oldest brother, who died in a car accident 9 years ago. After graduation as stomotologist, he and his friends went to celebrte in town. Another car driven by a drug stoned young man crashed into their vehicle. Ricardo's brother, his girlfriend and the guilty driver's girlfriend died immediately.

Let these items bring you luck in your life. Remember always that if you are looking for changes in your life, choose today a different way and go for it.
