Three days before my wife died, she grabbed my hand and said, “Seek your first love… and please forgive me.” After 36 years of marriage, I was not prepared to discover what I had done
And I explained to him the strange final request he had made to me.
Susan’s expression changed the instant she heard Linda’s name.
For several seconds, he said nothing.
Then he took a deep breath.
“I think I know why he asked you to look for me.
My heart began to beat strongly.
“What do you mean?
Susan looked me straight in the eye.
“Many years ago, I went to get you.
I was paralyzed.
What?
She continued.
I went to your house. But you weren’t.
He paused.
“Linda was.
I felt a frosty wave going through my whole body.
Susan opened the door more.
“Robert… there’s something you don’t know. And I think Linda waited almost forty years before finally gathering the courage to tell you.
He stepped aside.
“Go in. You better feel.
I entered the house, without yet having the slightest idea that, in the following minutes, everything I thought I knew about my past was about to change.

Susan took me to the living room and pointed to a chair.

Sit down, Robert.
The way he uttered my name made my stomach shrink.
He disappeared in another room and returned carrying a small wooden box.
It looked old.
The corners were worn and the brass broom had darkened over the years.
Susan placed her on the table between us.
“I’ve kept this for almost forty years.
I stared at the box.
What is it?
Instead of answering, he opened it.
Inside were several cards tied up with a faded ribbon.
