The Locker


As you look at the Locker's pictured above, they seem so simple don't they?  Simple style, plain, rectangle in shape, slates for I guess air :).  They were the worse in high school, weren't they?  We stored all kind of things in them.  Books we would never use :), food, shoes, dirty socks and for some our gym clothes.  Imagine for a minute how that locker could change the course of one's life and the narrow path they were traveling.  Yes, a simple note left in the locker of my Best Friend (little did I know) a little over 26 years ago, changed the course of my life.  You see I left a note one day in Tiffany's locker with a simple "I will call you tonight".  Amazing what a few short words will do if followed thru.  We talked for many hours that evening and have been together ever since.  My narrow path changed that day.  I was heading down a narrow road of destruction.  I was not the role model student and at times not the role model on the golf course either (I played extensively in high school).  Tiffany provided the stability I needed, she dragged me out of the ditch I found myself in and planted me back to center.  We have shared so many great memories over the last 26 years, she has been my best friend and love of my life through it all.  When times have been rough and not going the way I planned there was never a doubt that I could always count on her to be by my side.  I can't imagine doing life without her.  My Best and Forever Friend. 

So yes a Locker might be simple and plain from just looking at it, but that Locker could hold many, many changed lives or memories.  It certainly did for me.
