From the editor: This Southport story has Hallmark movie written all over it

If you’re a fan of Hallmark Channel movies, we’ve got a great story for you today.

I couldn’t help but smile when I read Renee Spencer’s story about a woman who lost an heirloom ring in Southport.

I thought about how distraught the woman must have been. I have a few special pieces of jewelry given to me by family members – some old, some new. If I lost any of them, I’d be heartbroken.

That’s when the movie started playing in my mind. Now, I don’t know exactly what happened in real life, but I could picture the woman returning to her home in Wilmington and the shock on her face when she realized the ring was missing. Then I could see her frantically retracing her steps.

The story goes on to detail how the ring was found and returned to the woman. It brought me joy to know that there are good, kind people out there who are willing to go the extra mile to help others.

The Hallmark movie started playing out in my head again. I could see Southport residents scurrying about from business to business looking for the missing ring. I then envisioned the ah-ha moment when it was found and then the steps the townspeople would take to make sure it was returned.
