Unexpected Parallel
Emma finds she could well read through Margaret’s diary and letters, in which she noted unexpected parallels between their lives. Margaret had written a lot about her dreams of traveling, creating a warm home for herself, and rearing children with the values of being kind and resilient.
Reflecting on her own life, she realized how much she shared the same aspirations. It was as if Margaret’s words were a mirror, showing how timeless human desires actually were. She saw pieces of herself in her great-grandmother’s struggles and triumphs.
This connectivity gave her renewed purpose in life. It reminded her that, though they were separated by decades, that crisis and joy of life are the same and tie generations together in profound ways.
