A family found a hidden chest full of old photos, letters, and treasured items when they moved a heavy cabinet in the living room of their new home. This unexpected find set them on a quest to learn about the couple who had lived there before them and their past.
By doing study and talking to neighbors, the family put together the stories of the people who lived in and around their house. Each item in the chest told a story of love, loss, and happiness, which made them value the home’s history even more.
They chose to keep these treasures safe by making a scrapbook to honor and remember the people who lived in the house before them. This happy discovery not only linked them to the past of their new home, but it also gave them a stronger sense of continuity and belonging.
