The wind whipped her hair around her face as she walked along the beach, feeling the salt spray on her skin. She had just found out she was pregnant, and the world seemed to shimmer with possibility. Her steps were lighter, her breath easy. She smiled at the seagulls as they swooped overhead.

Later, while cleaning out her grandmother's house, she opened a trunk she didn’t recognize. Inside, she found a treasure trove of her own childhood.

She pulled out her old report cards, artwork, and essays. She picked up a drawing, and remembered working on it with her grandmother. She laughed as she recalled how she was so bad at coloring. The joy in her heart grew.
