Hugs, Then Hands

January 2, 2013

FOUND by Emily Weakley at a children’s clinic

I found this letter while straightening up the waiting room at a children’s facility. I look at all of the patients we saw that day to see if I could find their name so we could return the letter, but we couldn’t find it. It was too cute to throw away!

I Know I’m Not Popular

FOUND by Warren in the DAV Thrift Store, Springfield, Missouri

Found this neatly folded on the shelf with all the bags of toys at a DAV thrift store. I really feel for Destiny. I hope that Justin called her (after family dinner of course) but we may never know. This is framed and hanging in my house. Also, a friend’s band titled one of their songs “The lost love letter of…” after it.

FOUND by April Denee Baker in Charlotte, North Carolina

FOUND by Patrick in Vancouver, Washington

Found on the road under our mailbox next to the Pearson Air Museum. It’s part of a note book. Many of the pages are dated. All are from 1990. I wonder where has this been for the last few decades? It was kept a long time, it must have meant something to someone.

Divorce

FOUND by Linnaea Stuart in Cambridge, Massachusetts

I found this on a sidewalk while walking to school. I pictured my own life flying by until I became the person who was writing this note.

Maybe She’ll Turn You Into A Toad?

April 21, 2007

FOUND by Kate in Stone Ridge, New York

I’ve been wistfully scanning the ground since I discovered this website, searching diligently for the perfect FOUND thing. Then last week at my local community college where I’m taking a sign language class I walked into the classroom to see the perfect specimen. I hope Michael makes it through his crisis, and wish we all could schedule a meeting for a transformation.

Is This What I Want

March 30, 2007

FOUND by Mavis Bonegarden in Bozeman, Montana

I was on the first date since my divorce when I saw this on the sidewalk, wedged against the side of a building. How could they have known what I would be thinking?

It’s Not on Any Calendar

April 28, 2006

FOUND by Eric Essen

This was found behind a cabinet while cleaning. Written by my grandmother? No idea when or what holiday had her confused.

I’m Grateful

November 16, 2003

FOUND by Liz Smith in Lowell, Massachusetts

Found crumpled in the grass along a riverside walkway. I never guessed someone earning $750,000 a year would have to convince themselves it was worth it. I guess the pressure increases with the zeros.
