What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

- Latest Review: The Hand Bringer by Christopher J. Penington
The best ones I've found were little vintage Christmas cards, postcards (I think from Italy) with Egyptian artifacts on them, and train tickets from Europe.
Love this topic!

The giver had written a love letter inside, and I feel blessed to have had a little peak into something so special. I find myself hoping they're out there somewhere, still together (it was dated late nineties).
