Found this tucked between the pages of an old paperback I picked up at a thrift store
The owner of the thrift store told me the box of books this came from was donated from an estate sale after an older gentleman passed away. There’s no name or date on the photo, but I can’t help wondering if she might have been his wife.
I keep thinking about him carrying this photo around in his book, coming across it every time he opened it. Maybe he liked having her close, even in the smallest way. There’s just something so bittersweet and beautiful about finding an ordinary piece of someone’s life like this, but you know you’ll probably never know the full story behind it
