In May, I had the chance to speak to a kind woman named Marjory. Although I had never met her before, being able to fill out a storybook with her was truly an unforgettable experience. It didn’t matter that we didn’t know each other prior. Talking with her felt very natural.
Throughout the session, Marjory described to me that as a child she often bought candy from a particular candy store during church. In fact, she was at the counter purchasing her favorite Almond Joy when the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on her island of Oahu.
Despite the situation being very serious, we shared a few laughs as we strolled down memory lane together. After the session, we had to say goodbye by enjoying watermelon together.
It was a “sweet” memory for the both of us. I’m looking forward to continuing to complete the book with Majorey.
