The cramped attic space was filled with forgotten memories. Lisa carefully brushed the dust from a shoebox. Inside, she unearthed a letter she had written to her best friend after a fight, never sent. She hadn't realized how much she admired her friend until she read the words again.

She quickly grabbed her phone and sent a message. Then, she went through her closet, looking for clothes she could donate to a local shelter. She smiled at the thought of her friend.
