FOUND by Miranda in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Found this treasure in the parking lot where I work, in which one little girl is explaining to another why they can’t be best friends. Ouch!

Into the Ground
Barney’s Last Slide
FOUND by Amber Dawn in North Carolina
The back of this picture sadly reads, “The last photo of Barney before his death.” If you’re wondering, I don’t think Barney actually had an accident on the slide. I think he lived a long life and died of old age since he’s in several photos across the years. What a good ol’ wiener dog.
Back Where You Came From
We’ve All Had a Wonderful Day
FOUND by Megan in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
I found this old poem in a board game at my parents’ cabin. My parents bought the game many years ago at a yard sale and never before noticed the paper under the game’s contents. The game is the Canadian trivia challenge “for all ages,” Tour de Force.
The Best Thing
Mother Fucking Hair
FOUND by Hannah on the bus loop at high school
“Complement List”
“Mother Fucking Hair”
“Mother fucking pants”
” & How motherfucking smart you think i am”
“Ps,”
“Also, put this one in your bra so you don’t drop it. Jack found the last one but couldn’t read the cursive and actually brought it to me to read. I told him I didn’t know who wrote it.”
“PPS. I lost my comb, do you have it?”
I can only assume that theres another ‘complement list’ floating around that someone else wants someone to comment on.
The World Needs More Love Letters
FOUND by Leah Eustace
I was walking down the street with my children, when my daughter (age 12) noticed a red envelope tucked into the side of a bench on the edge of the sidewalk. She pulled it out and showed it to me. On the envelope, it said “This is for you. Yes you!” We opened it up and this letter is what we found inside.
I’ve been wavering between sadness and awe. The sadness comes from the loneliness expressed in the letter. I get the sense that this woman (and I’m guessing it’s a woman) could use a friend and warm hug. At the same time, how amazing to share a letter like this. I absolutely intend to pay it forward: not in exactly the same way, but with the same belief in human connectedness.
