The weight in Emily's chest lifted, replaced by a buoyant lightness. Her mother's dedication had been an unexpected, and incredibly generous, gift. She ran her fingers across the carefully labeled folders, feeling a warmth spread through her.

She pulled out her first attempts at writing, smiling at her youthful aspirations. She had everything: the notes, the tests, the homework, even her report cards.

She felt a bubbling, effervescent sensation, as she dove into the world her mother had so carefully preserved for her. She had a sudden, overwhelming urge to call everyone she knew and tell them everything.
