The attic felt stifling, the air thick with the scent of old wood and forgotten memories. Mary found the letter, tucked away in an old shoebox. It was addressed to her mother, who had recently passed away. The letter was a detailed account of the difficulties she had faced, along with a desperate need for support. Mary had been too proud to send it.

Mary decided to read it aloud, whispering the words into the empty room.
