I need your help.
Background.... Mum has just returned home from 2 weeks of respite. The home she stayed with was fabulous (well... mum now says they were terrible but gave everyone in sight kisses and thanks in abundance when she left )
She has a beautiful looking diamond ring - it is not her engagement ring (divorced & made into earings for me over 40 years ago) but was given it and has worn it for over 30 years. It is not only beautiful looking but I suspect is valuable ( I knew the lady who gave it to her and she was v. wealth and it was her engagement ring).
Mum's AZ is getting worse, respite will be more regular, eventually I do envisage that a time will come when I will not be able to have mum here at home with us, so in an ideal world she will be able to live at this care home and be very happy, content and looked after.
Here's the rub on my mind today... the diamond ring. If on the next time mum goes into respite will she loose it? Will it fall down the plug hole or worse, be stolen?
I would be horrified and so would she.
So, is it immoral for me to think of obtaining a "fake" ring looking 100% similar & swapping it on her finger when she next visits the aforementioned home?
