Thanks, DG. 😔 And yes, it's quite challenging to comprehend the arc of Laura's story. Even so, while the world has its share of cruelty and ruthlessness, I believe it features far more that is positive, wondrous, and uplifting.
beautiful tribute to this poor girl! her story makes me think of Vincent Van Gogh. Famous after death, after living a life in poverty and misery. Thank you for shining a light on her.
Thank you for sharing. She was an amazing artist and gone far too soon. I’m glad she had you in her life. ❤️Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.
What a tribute to Laura D., you and the human spirit when it encounters the power of love. Peace to Laura’s spirit and the same to you, Mickey. Thank you for sharing. 💜
Thank you so much, Laura! 🙏 I share this in her honor, of course, but also to remind folks of how powerful they are. We are each walking around - fearfully and wonderfully made - with the ability to change people's lives for the better.
BIG HUGE LOVE to you Mickey 💗💗💗 you've done Laura proud I know. Can feel her smiling right where I am, she is such a beautiful gift to remember for the world. Bless your souls forever and ever 🙏🕊️✨
Very nice to read this at a time when we are seeing so much narcissism and greed creating the potential of our earth no longer being the home it was created for humans and all living things. Scary to consider that at some point we could all become homeless. Our only chance to sustain ourselves is to cultivate and practice empathy - in other words follow the golden rule, something that you Mickey are following and teaching by example. Thanks so much 🙏
Laura’s beautiful soul shines through in her artwork and her words. It was more than coincidence that your paths crossed and that the encounter soon brought forth a positive change in Laura’s life journey. She has touched many souls. Thank you for caring and giving to those who may otherwise be unnoticed. I’m deeply grateful you shared her story ❤️🙏
Her passing on the same date that you posted her success story. Coincidence? Not to my thinking. Your encounter with Laura D.; one of many over a lifetime. It's mind-boggling to think of the intricate network that connects us to one another and to God through charity (love as 'care').
Thank you so much, GLW! In terms of gift cards, they're all helpful but I know Arby's would be appreciated by one particular person. As for other stuff, socks and hand wipes would be awesome. Thank you again and God bless!
Wow. Her artwork is phenomenal.
Thanks, C. I concur!
This is such a sad story. I cried. Poor child. 😔 The world has become a cruel and ruthless place. 💔

Thank you, Ingrid. It was/is an honor to be her friend. 🙏

Thank YOU, MDR, for your kind words and for supporting my project. I was blessed to cross paths with Laura. 🙏
This made sad and happy. I may be out of place but what did she die of? And what about her burial? Rest in peace dear young sweet soul.
Thank you, Sophia.
As far as I can ascertain, arrangements were made through some relatives in New Jersey and the little I know about her death was mentioned here: https://mickeyz.substack.com/p/laura-the-artist-rip

Thank you, Claire, for always being receptive to the needs of others. May Laura's example stay present in your heart. 🙏
life is far too short
In the words of the esteemed philosopher, Jack Dawson: "Make every day count." 🙏
It seems the joy you brought to her is equalled only by the joy she brought to you. Beautiful souls, both of you. ❤️
You're incredibly kind, my friend. 😭
My heart couldn't take this one. I'm crying :(
Thank you, as always, for bearing witness. 😭 🙏

Amen, Adria. 🙏
brilliant woman. Sad that she left, but maybe somewhere she's painting and smiling.
Amen, Lorie. 🙏
Thank you. Very much. For seeing her.
Thank YOU and amen... 🙏
Mickey, I’m doubling up this month because last month got away from me. What do you need most from your list?
