#44: A Previous Life
Sometimes, after a bad breakup, people wish to leave their old life behind and start afresh. They don’t want to talk about their past life and bring back those hurtful memories, even though they never manage to fully forget them. This person’s grandma had a previous life that, for whatever reason, she never shared with her new family.
Only after her passing, did our storyteller find out their grandma had another daughter from a previous marriage that she’s never talked about. Depite that, she clearly still had feelings for her, as she kept a shoebox full of letters and pictures. That’s how our storyteller was able to learn so much about this aunt they never got to meet.
