At the beginning of Lucky’s Dream I never imagined where this book would have taken us over these past twelve weeks or so. I couldn’t have predicted the journey that lead four such uniquely different people to build a bond that bloomed into the most inspiring of friendships.

No matter how much we would like to be able to forget the past, erase memories and move on, it is these memories that make us into the people we are. It is Lucky’s past that has brought him to the place he is today. If it wasn’t for his past, he never would have met Jimmy, Odysea, and Diane. We learn from our mistakes, from the memories we have made. As stated in the article, How our Brains Make Memories, “Then again, editing might be another way to learn from experience…if recollections of difficult times weren’t offset by knowledge that things worked out in the end, we might not reap the benefits of these hard-earned life lessons” (Miller, 2010,
