"Oh, my goodness!" Sarah exclaimed, her voice bubbling with excitement. Her mother's meticulous records of her elementary school years were a revelation. She skipped around the living room, grabbing a box of snacks.

A faded photograph of her in a kindergarten play, clutching a cardboard sword, brought a wave of mirthful energy. She looked again and burst into laughter. Her delight had no bounds.

She dove back in for another look, her hand reaching for a hand-drawn picture of a family. The emotions flooded through her. This was more fulfilling than any afternoon she could have imagined.
