Tanya Walsh has lost sleep for nights on end after finding out that her wedding(婚礼) dress had been given away by accident.

While Walsh says all wedding dresses are special, and this one is especially special, she said. “This was a special dress for some reasons, but most importantly a dress my mother bought me right before she passed away,” she wrote in a post. “I didn’t want a wedding dress at first, since we were having a small wedding. But because she never had a dress herself, I decided to get one. She passed away 2 months after I got married and this dress was to act and serve as something to keep forever that would help remind me of her and a special heirloom(传家宝) for my own children. I have 2 girls now and I am devastated that I don’t have this for them one day, marriage or not. I NEED TO FIND THIS DRESS!”

For years, the dress was stored in her late mother’s closet at her father’s home. But in February, Walsh learned her father had given the dress to a store. Walsh called all of the local stores but no one had seen the dress. That’s when she decided to try her luck on social media.

Walsh’s post was shared more than 1,500 times and just two days later she was informed that someone had found her dress. “The dress has been found by a lovely volunteer, Sheila at St. Vincent de Paul store,” Walsh said. “It was kept in the basement safely. Sheila came to work this morning and found it.” “Thank you to everyone who helped share the story. I am really excited to get it back!” Walsh said.
