David found the letter while clearing out his aunt's apartment. It was a draft resignation letter from a job he knew she had loved. She had always been so vibrant, so full of life, so passionate about her work. He felt a tenderness in his heart. The letter, typed on heavy cream-colored paper, described her reasons for leaving as "personal."

He felt a deep sense of empathy for the woman he had known. The typed words offered a glimpse into her heart. He decided to find out more about his aunt.

Later that day, he called her friends, and set up a luncheon to reminisce about her.
