Forgotten Bed

Today, Luis and I discovered that we left a bed at our old house in Lafayette.  Its not so much of the value it actually holds monetarily .. its the emotional connection I have to it from my childhood and my grandmother.  Yes, it was old when she had, old when my mom had it, and even older when I have had it.  My grandma and I striped it down to its original state one summer, with my mom of course at the old farm.  It was a lot of work and in the heat of summer, but my mom wanted for me and Amber to have a bigger bed to share, since the arrival of the twins.  Amber and I shared that bed until we got our bunkbeds and then it went to be stored in the shed behind our house.  When I moved out of my moms house, that is the bed that followed me all through college and even with Luis and I.  That bed was our first bed in Corpus Christi and Lafayette.  Then we retired it to the guest room.  Anyhow, I could go on and on.  But my thoughts were I would stop using it until we could refinish it again and then today we found out we may have lost it forever.  Luis feels very terrible, because he and our friend JohnEric cleaned out the attic, but he forgot to get the bed from the corner he had placed it.  I just hope the new homeowner will have it in her heart to give it back to us.  We have contacted our Realtor from Lafayette in hopes to get it back.  He said he would take care of it from there.  I hope and pray that it everything goes our way and she will allow us to either come and it or have a friend in the  neighborhood pick it up for us.  Either way, I would just love to have my grandma's bed back.  Like I told Luis, if I cannot get it back it is in no way shape or form the end of the world as it is JUST an object - I have the memories.  It is not going to be something that I hold over his head or anything ridiculous like that.  I even called my mom to ask her about it, in case there was something about it I had not remembered.   Anyhow, I just hope we have a chance in getting it.

Also on a side note, one of  my moms dogs is super ill and will need to be transported from the current vets office to either STL or Springfield to animal hospital.  I hope they figure out what is wrong with her.  She is a very good dog and my mom and sister saved her years ago from an extremely abusive situation.  Please send positive thought for little Precious.
