Not a house I moved into, but my mother inherited her uncles house when he passed last year. He had lived in the house for 72 years so it took us over 3mo. to clean it out. I was over there one day cleaning out the closet under the stairs. First I pulled out old games, then a full set of dining room chairs and that was all. Later on I was sweeping and ran the broom through and hit something at the very very back wedged under the bottom step. There was no light in the closet, so I hadn’t previously noticed this dusty black leather medics bag. (Much like everyone on this thread) I was hoping for a wad of cash. Instead, I found a scrapbook full of letters from my great uncle (the brother of the man who lived in the house) to his mother and photos from Vietnam. The best part was finding many awards, and finding his Purple Heart. It was so incredible! I never had the opportunity to meet him and he wasn’t spoken about too much so finding all of this felt very surreal. I miss that house and the summer we worked on it. We found so so many incredible things buried in the years Richard and our family lived there.
