Precious

The above picture was drawn by my grand-niece, Aaliyah.

One of her school teachers was going through some health issues and required a kidney transplant. The teacher`s husband was going to donate one of his kidneys but when they started the testing to see if he was eligible, they discovered he has stomach cancer. The school decided to have an auction to help the family and each student donated their `art` to be auctioned off.

Aaliyah`s parrot painting sold for $1500!!!

Aaliyah`s Mom had gotten married last summer to a wonderful man who loves Aaliyah as his own. Aaliyah`s Dad approached the gentleman that had purchased the painting and asked him how much he would sell it back to him for. The gentleman agreed to sell it to him for $53.

Now it hangs proudly in their home and I have my orders in for a painting of my own. You never know these days... it may be worth lots of money someday... lol

(Not that I could ever sell it)

But to me... she gave so readily... that`s priceless!!! I am SO proud of her!
