Losing My Fortune

Yesterday, after coming home from my acquaintance's party, I continued working as usual. All of a sudden, I realised that one of my pair of earrings was lost. It is notable that I was unable to determine when and where my earring was mislaid. That's because before, I had gone many places. 

I told my family members about this story. {You could say "told them about this" or "told them this story". Either one way sounds natural} We all know that jewellery falling off down is difficult to find seek again, but they tried to help me to find it. Not finding looking for it, they consoled me that I had good health and a good job, and I could buy another pair of earrings easily. They still made jokes about how why a careful person like me lost the fortune. 

I didn't feel bad, and silently thanked them. That was only a small event in my life. We all at least have/encounter {either would sound natural} spend such situations  throughout in our whole lives.
