\nA woman came across a wallet while sweeping the street and decided to track its owner and return it. The events that followed were intriguing, to say the least.\n
Sandra was a young woman whose fate had never been on her side. She had been orphaned at a young age and had lost her family in a car accident, leaving her traumatized for a long time.\n
As time went on, she somehow sympathized with her destiny and started looking for means to support herself. But sadly, the only job that she could manage to get was that of a street sweeper. The job didn\u2019t pay well, but she could at least afford a place to live and three meals a day.\n
As Sandra started cleaning the road one day, she saw a wallet lying at the edge of the road. Out of curiosity, she stopped sweeping and began investigating its contents. She discovered that the wallet was mostly empty, with only a few dollars and a letter that appeared to have been read several times a day for years.\n
On the torn envelope of the letter, everything was blurred out except for the return address. She cautiously opened it, taking care not to tear the delicate paper, and discovered that it had been written in 1959. A 60-year-old letter? It must have been quite special to the owner, she wondered.\n
\n
Some words in the letter had faded, but Sandra could thankfully read most of it.\n
\u201cDear Lewis,\u201d the letter began. \u201cMy mother forbade me to meet and said that you and I could not be together, but I want you to know that I love you. Love, Nancy Ar\u2026\u201d Unfortunately, the paper was torn at the edge, and Sandra could not read it.\n
Thinking that it was pretty special for its owner, Sandra decided to track him down and return it. She went to the phone exchange operator to inquire about the phone number indicated with the return address and was soon connected to someone who lived there.\n
\u201cHello, my name is Sandra. May I speak to Nancy?\u201d\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry but no one by the name of Nancy lives here,\u201d the woman on the line replied.\n
\u201cActually, maybe you can help me. I found a wallet and wanted to return it to its owner. There was a letter inside the wallet and I got this phone number from the return address on the letter, so I assumed the person who wrote the letter lived there.\u201d Sandra explained. \u201cThe woman\u2019s name is Nancy.\u201d\n
\u201cAre you talking about Nancy Arnolds?\u201d the woman inquired.\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m not sure if her last name is Arnolds, but I think it\u2019s her. Do you have her contact information or know where I might be able to find her?\u201d Sandra inquired.\n
\u201cActually, we bought the house from her mother 20 years ago. She was staying at a nursing home then. If you want, I can give you the nursing home\u2019s contact number; you can write it down.\u201d\n
Sandra thanked the woman and immediately called the nursing home. There she was informed that Nancy\u2019s mother had passed away, but her daughter was still alive and staying there.\n
Sandra quickly hired a cab and headed to the location. When she met Nancy and showed her the letter she had found, Nancy\u2019s eyes welled up. \u201cI can\u2019t believe he has kept it safe until now. By the way, where did you find this?\u201d\n
\u201cWell, it was inside the wallet I found on the road. By any chance, do you recognize this?\u201d Sandra showed the wallet.\n
\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know about the wallet, but this letter, I wrote the letter for Lewis \u2014 Lewis Duncan,\u201d Nancy said. \u201cWe met in college, and I wanted to marry him and start a family, but my mother was against it because, just like my father, Lewis was not well off. After my mom married my father, he began living off my mother\u2019s wealth, and when mom objected, he threatened that he would harm me.\u201d\n
.\u201cMom resisted for a long time and then divorced him. Sadly, she never had a happy married life, and she feared the same would happen to me. As a result, she despised Lewis and my relationship. But if you find him, please let him know that I still love him and never married. I always hoped he\u2019d come and find me, and I am still waiting.\u201d Nancy burst into tears as she finished.\n
Sandra consoled her and promised she would find Lewis, but deep down, she was scared that wouldn\u2019t happen. Nancy was the only way Sandra could contact him, but Nancy had no idea about him because she hadn\u2019t seen him since she was transferred to the nursing home.\n
Dejected, Sandra left the nursing home and decided to drop the wallet at the police station, but as she stepped outside, the security guard interrupted her. \u201cAre you Nancy\u2019s relative?\u201d\n
\u201cNo, actually\u2026\u201d Sandra began speaking when the guard interrupted her again. \u201cWait, isn\u2019t that Mr. Duncan\u2019s wallet?\u201d\n
Sandra was taken aback. \u201cYes, it is! Do you know him?\u201d\n
\u201cYes, he lives in the building next to the nursing home,\u201d the guard replied. \u201cThe man is pretty old and keeps misplacing his wallet. Actually, don\u2019t tell Nancy, but he frequently visits just to see her. That\u2019s how I know him.\u201d\n
Sandra\u2019s happiness knew no bounds when she heard that, she went to Mr. Duncan and returned the wallet. He was glad that the letter was safe.\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Mr. Duncan, but I read that letter,\u201d Sandra admitted shyly. \u201cAnd I have a question if you don\u2019t mind me asking.\u201d\n
\n
Mr. Duncan smiled warmly at her. \u201cAsk anything, young lady. You returned the most valuable item to me. I don\u2019t mind if the wallet was lost, but the letter is very close to my heart.\u201d\n
\u201cThen why don\u2019t you meet Miss Arnolds? The guard told me everything. She couldn\u2019t stop crying when she saw the letter. Do you know that she never married and has been waiting for the day she\u2019ll meet you again?\u201d\n
Mr. Duncan\u2019s eyes almost welled up. He said he was devastated when he received this letter and resolved that he would never marry anyone because he loved Nancy. However, he had no idea that Nancy wasn\u2019t married either.\n
Sandra took him to her and left them alone for a while. They cried and hugged, and Sandra\u2019s eyes welled up when she saw them like that. It brought back memories of how she and her husband Edward met. She sobbed as she walked out of the nursing home.\n
A year later, she received a wedding invitation. It was an invite to Nancy and Lewis\u2019 wedding.\n
