Unearthed Treasure

With the help of a friend, I recently cleaned out my storage unit, which I've had since 2001. (Yes, even after buying a house!) I knew I had a lot of my books from college, a large Japanese doll--the kind the region I lived in was famous for--that my school gave me when I left Japan, some old camera equipment, artwork from China that I never got framed, and other items from my study abroad program in college.

I had forgotten about other things. Love letters. A book my students made for me. Hiking boots that I badly needed. Old short stories. And, among all the other little items, I found a stack of letters from my mom.

Nothing in the world could be worth more to me.
