I enjoyed reading this sweet story. It's so nice to read stories with a positive message, believable relationships, and happy endings. It's fun to think of people reaching over time and death to reconnect with loved ones.

Comment from Begin Again
Your story hits the emotional chords on so many levels, especially for Linda...I lost my son 40 years ago, but the other day I was cleaning out old boxes and found a few of his toys....the memories flooded my mind and yes, the tears flowed. Great story!
Smiles, Carol

This is a beautiful, heartwarming story about a hidden treasure, revealed during a renovation, that brought loving memories to a lonely mother. Your story is well written with a smooth flow from the introduction to the satisfying, happy ending. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Shanbreen
This is a well-written, intriguing story. The writing is good because it brings me right into the story. I almost went into the computer to open the canister. The waiting for Allen to open it made me impatient. Well done. Best for the contest.

What a moving story! It makes one think how important it is to have create a time capsule for our loved ones. I was impressed that Meg did her own renovation! But what a gift for Linda to travel back in time and see her daughter's time capsule. Best wishes in the contest!

This is a very creative story which has suspense (what is in the box, and what do its contents mean?)and nice characterization. Your story flows well.
Great renovation entry.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I liked reading this story. The character names were very believable. I liked the details of the track medal and the Four Season Nestle cocoa cannister/tin. Also the yellow mums were a nice touch that Linda brings over. Awfully good entry for this writing prompt entry on renovations. Nice job.

An excellent story, full of sentiment and emotion. It was good that they could contact the owner of the young woman who had died. Best wishes for your story in the contest.

This story reminded me of an old saying, 'If these walls could talk', yes there are so many inanimate objects that could probably share so much to write about, this was like a breath of fresh air, a wonderful post, offering nostalgia which we all possess in abundance, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
Typo : and put the lid back on.
