What’s Next?
As I close the latest journal entry and put the scrapbook back on the shelf, I feel so grateful. Grateful for this serendipitous find that brought my father and me closer together. Grateful for the stories that connected us to the past. And most importantly, grateful for the opportunity to create new stories every day.
The journey is long from over. In fact, I believe it has just begun. Looking at the map hanging on the wall, I am drawn to wonder what new adventure lies out there? What stories are still hidden in the unknown places? One thing I know for sure: Whatever lies in store, I’ll face it all with a piece of my grandfather’s curious heart. For in the end, it’s not about where the map takes us but about the stories gathered and the people we share them with.
