The dust of hopes and longings lie tightly sealed within its vault. Were they realized? Or did they dissolve, warping the edges before escaping to colour those who followed – and who placed their own dreams, gently folded, into Grandmother’s chest.

  5. You took me back to when I was a child. My grandmother had a hope chest. I always wondered what she put in it. If they were just hopes, why was it so large (to my eyes as a young child)?

    1. Ah yes, I know what you mean. And what a great description from a child’s point of view! I remember marveling at hope chests as a kid – it wasn’t something that my family had, but I remember being intrigued by them as well. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
