Sharing the Discovery
Excited over what she had discovered, Emma shared the suitcase and its contents with her family. Her relatives were equally amazed, particularly when they saw photographs of their ancestors. For some, it was the first time they had ever seen images of Margaret and her family.
Emma’s discovery sparked a wave of interest among her relatives. Together, they began researching their family history, uncovering stories and connections they had never known before. The suitcase became a symbol of unity, bringing generations together.
Emma’s family urged her to keep the letter story and recommended she chronicle the trip and pass it on to others. In their opinion, the lessons and feelings accomplished in the letters would impact more than just those in her own family.
