Dave & Doug's Mom and brothers, Don & Dan
In 1990, Doug Meadows (the owner of our store) lost his mother to cancer. This contest is to honor her and for students to honor their mothers—to express their love and appreciation through a writing exercise. We offer this contest to students in grades 1st through 6th. This year we had over 10,000 entries.

Every year David Douglas Diamonds & Jewelry sponsors a writing contest in our local schools. The kids are asked to write an essay about their mom. Three deserving students win a 1/4 carat diamond (0.25ct), and a gemstone winner is chosen from every classroom that participates.
Savannah K. - 2nd Grade, Nicholson Elementary
"My mom deserves a diamond because she is so sweet and she gave me the cutest and the sweetest baby brother in the world! She helps me on my homework, comforts me when I cry, that’s why I love her, and she makes the
best fries!"
Presley J. - 3rd Grade, Murdock Elementary
"Sometimes when you look at my mom you could say she dazzles and shines. You know what? That is my description of a diamond. I think my mom deserves a diamond because for three years my mom has been in college and now she’s graduating in a few weeks and I wanted to get her something special. If you pick my writing, I know she’ll be thrilled."
Max R. - 5th Grade, Shallowford Falls Elementary
"Dear Mr. Douglas, My mom has three boys. That is very hard. What is even harder is for one of my brothers has cancer. My mom has such amazing strength and courage. It is very hard to support a family with cancer. It is even harder to make everyone in a good mood every step of our cancer journey. From, Max"
