Especially loved this: “Without a cap around the void, you can’t hear echoes.”

Hi Thalia, I've always thought attics were cool places. In our family, that's where all the old photos, books and odds and ends were storing their stories. Our Grandpa and Grandma's place in rural Oregon was full of treasures.

Eric- Attics *are* cool. Especially when the grandparents are good at seeing the value of things that are overlooked. Must’ve been fun rummaging through their attic. Any particular things you found that came to mind? 🙌🏼

A relatively formal black and white studio photo of my Grandpa's baseball team in Nebraska, 1920s era. All of them in uniform with their mitts.

I can't load it on here, apparently, but take my word, it's great! The grandparents had a couple of steamer trunks filled with things, including photos of my dad and his siblings when they were kids.

Inspiring, uplifting, and intricately woven. A wonderful post, Thalia. I love the way you find the common thread in seemingly disparate sources and weave them together without missing a stitch.
