The Lucky Picture

I love this story from one of Lauren’s friends that she worked with at Bass Pro – Denham Springs, LA.  At the top of the picture Lauren wrote, “Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out.”   See here friends story below the picture.

Lauren gave me that coloring years ago when we worked at the BassPro Store in Denham together along with numerous other doodles that she had drawn over time.  When she passed away they became very special to me.   When I left BassPro I kept them in an envelope and stored them away at my house.  When my house flooded I was able to go back into the house on her birthday.  I was distraught once I realized I had lost “or thought so” all of her art work that she gave me.  At the same time I happened to turn around and see that coloring picture that I had on the fridge completely unharmed.  Everything else had been thrown off the fridge or splashed with water, except for this one page.  I knew it was her looking out for me! It now hangs in my living room in a frame.
