The old trunk, hidden in the basement, yielded a treasure. Inside, amongst faded photographs, lay the letter. Sarah, the daughter, stared at the neat script, a chill running down her spine. The letter, her mother's letter of resignation, was nothing like she had expected.

Her eyes snapped open wide. The writing detailed how unhappy her mother was. It went into detail about her desire to chase her dream. Sarah had always thought her mother's life had been… well, perfect.

She felt a lump in her throat. She understood her mother's sacrifices, her struggles, in a way she never had before. A sudden rush of tears. Sarah finally understood.
