lost and found

this is a good story. a couple of months ago, my mom received a call from a stranger. the woman on the line explained that she had a box of photos belonging to our family. confused but curious, my mom went to pick it up and was shocked to find it filled with photos which our family had been missing for the last FIFTEEN years! we had lost a variety of important albums, including my parents’ wedding photos and my mom’s old black and white photos from childhood. this woman had found the box in her sister’s basement after her sister had passed away. in fact, she had been holding on to this box for half a year trying to find our family and didn’t let her husband throw it away because she recognized its value. our guess is that the box was left behind in a moving truck years ago and somehow ended up in this stranger’s basement. we’re amazed by this small miracle and touched by this random act of kindness. now if only i could find my childhood rock collection…
