(The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle!

THE BEST LOST AND FOUND STORY EVER!



For as long as I remember, since I was a child, our family has been used to my dad misplacing things and always finding them.

For my entire life, it seemed like my mom, my dad's secretary, me, my sister, my brother, my kids, my grandmother, my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, my nieces and nephews, my cousins, and my husband and friends have helped my dad find keys, pens, phones, even cars!, important papers, phone numbers, passwords, electronic devices, books, jackets, .....etc...the list goes on and on.....we are used to it...

Of course, my dad always finds everything he temporarily misplaces...

Today was the BEST Lost and Found Story EVER!

My dad misplaced his Kindle reader and looked in what he described as "All the Usual Places." It seemed to be gone, but he was determined to find the device and retraced his steps over and over again.

Finally, he went to a bench in a public place where he'd been reading and didn't see the device when he arrived there, but thought he'd ask the man that was now sitting on the bench if he'd seen the reader.

The man promptly pulled the device out of his bag and told my dad he'd just put the device in his bag hoping that the rightful owner would return to the bench and ask if he'd found it. The man who was sitting on the bench explained he had decided to wait at the bench protecting the device rather than leave the reader out in the open for someone to take.

What an amazing story and also this proves there are still honest people in this world! And...my dad has his reader tonight and continues to enjoy reading the books on it!
