Forrest Gump's mom says that "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get." But I say life is like a jigsaw puzzle and you never know what pieces will fit with each other. Or what piece may be missing all together.
A couple of month's ago I put together this turtle puzzle. It was the hardest puzzle to put together because the border pieces were so hard to find. It took me weeks to build. Pieces would fit together that didn't belong together so I would have to break them apart and find the right pieces.
Puzzles are fun to work on, but they can be frustrating too, especially when you spend days looking for a certain piece and then finally decide it must be missing and you have to move on to a different part of the puzzle.
And that's how it went with this puzzle. I spent days looking for one piece only to find out when I was finished that it was missing.
After a couple of month's though, when my dad was moving furniture around in the living room, we found the missing puzzle piece. Just like life, sometimes you go through life for months or years feeling like something is missing to one day, out of the blue, find that missing piece and your life seems complete.

p.s. my dad helped me write this.
