I remembered visiting Zee and Glad during my senior year at Iowa and feeling jealous when Glad babysat Parker. She played endless checkers with the eight-year-old and even laughed at his knock-knock jokes. When he was older, she must have shown him her collection, but she’d never shown it to me. Of course, I’d never asked.

Now the least I could do was make sure that part of her collection would be displayed at the Chat ’n Chew. As I separated her cards from Bill’s, I felt a surge of hope. Here was a task I could complete. Better yet, when I returned Bill’s cards to Barb and asked what she thought about a commemorative display, I’d give myself a perfect excuse to ask her about the Post-it note suspects.

I grabbed a card that featured a John Deere tractor. Then I saw it. A yellow envelope with my name. I lifted it out of the box and traced my fingers over Glad’s handwriting. No-nonsense, straight up and down. She’d never even written me an entire letter—just an occasional P.S. to whatever Zee wrote.

Inside the envelope were postcards. Nearly two dozen of them. The top one made my heart race. It was a photo of an Irish castle, and I knew where Glad had gotten it. From my dad.
