Hidden away in the old metal box were memories, smiles, and tears. Photos sprang to life. Prom. Senior trip. My college sweetheart. Former roommates. Friends now residing in Heaven. Dreams. Achieved and forgotten. An indescribable ache, followed by renewed hope. And maybe, just maybe, another run at those unachieved dreams.

love this!
Another winner, Good job!
Wow! Not many words blow me away and render me speechless BUT this…wow. I could visual myself with that metal box gently going through each sacred memory. I was pulled in. Excellent work.
This short pulled me in from the moment the box was opened. It reminds me of how blessed we are because each day that we wake, it’s another day that God has given us to get it right. Remember that all dreams are achievable as long as you never give up ❤.
These are beautiful words that can take us back to our “yesterday” and the way we were. It revived many of my cherished memories and dreams. Very good!
The box does have memories of your past. And a lot of those were shared with me. We had so many good times together. Happy, sad and in-between we’ve so many occasions together in our life. I love you and so very proud of you. Remember that the sky is not the limit. Reach for your dreams.
Thanks, everyone, for such positive feedback. Glad you liked it!
