The discovery was a surprise, but the feeling it evoked was not. Grace, rummaging through a forgotten closet, found a box labeled with her mother's neat script. Inside, were her school assignments, meticulously preserved: essays, drawings, report cards, and more. A wave of peacefulness washed over her.
