Mili was visiting her grandparents’ home.
They
had passed away...
Though
Mili was visiting after many years, she saw that not much had changed in their
home.
There
was still no air-conditioner or television.
As
a kid, Mili never missed electronic devices whenever she visited her
grandparents.
They
played many board games together.
She
loved listening to their stories.
Many
memories came flooding her mind.
When
she stepped into the library, the books welcomed her.
Mili
spotted the first book she had read in her life.
Safely
hidden inside its pages was her first artwork- a drawing of her grandparents.

ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I've found a few hidden treasures between the pages of old book. Sweet story.
Shalom,

i'm sure she'll find more hidden treasures there that would make their memories alive.
ReplyDeleteI bet finding the drawing of her grandparents brought tears. A very emotionally charged moment for sure.
ReplyDeletethat's beautifully narrated
ReplyDeleteI’ve never hidden anything in a book that I can remember but I have put postcards of art work in relevant art books and pressed flowers.
ReplyDeleteA book can say so much, besides the words in it.
