Closing the Loop
The old map, the journals, and the letters—that became their symbols for something much bigger than just a family find. They stand for values such as linkage, filling the time we live for, and the conviction that our stories are worth something, no matter how small they might be in scale or how ordinary they may appear to be.
What began as an unexpected find in the dusty basement of the old house ended up changing not only the way I see my family but also the way I live my life. Every moment now becomes a chance to build a new story worth telling, get closer to the people around me, and appreciate the passage of time, which is short-lived.
