The Book with the Note

Dear Delyara, I bought a second-hand book today, and tucked inside the front cover was a handwritten note: "To Sarah, may this story find you when you need it most. Love, Mom. 1994." I’m not Sarah, but the words felt like they were meant for me today. I spent the evening reading it, wondering what happened to Sarah and if she ever found what she was looking for. We are all just carrying stories around, hoping someone will read the margins of our lives and understand what we were trying to say.
