#29: A Dark Past
Our grandparents, coming from a different era with its own set of norms and values, may carry secrets and undisclosed aspects of their lives. These hidden facets could range from personal experiences they prefer not to revisit to choices made in times when societal expectations were vastly different.
While some secrets may be better left untouched, others could offer valuable insights into their journeys and the historical context of their lives. In this case, this person was horrified to find a red robe in their grandpa’s closet and find out about his dark past. That’s a part of their grandpa’s life they would rather not know, which led our storyteller’s uncle to burn the robe and put this saga behind them.
