Old Memories Found
Carmen discovered a lost picture book while organizing; its pages were chock-full of happy memories. She traced the features with her fingertips and said, “Look at us.” The recollections served as a soft reminder of the happiness that had pervaded their house. Those were foundational days, not gone. Her determination was fortified by the warmth of those days. This was a fresh chapter, not a conclusion.

Creating Scrapbooks
Carmen thought of something as she was looking at those old photos. After gathering the pictures, she made scrapbooks for the children and herself. As she gathered souvenirs from all over the house, she thought, “Let’s capture the good times.” She grinned to herself, thrilled with the project, “The kids will love this.” Every time she made a new page, she celebrated what they had and what they had to look forward to, which was like taking a tiny step toward healing.
