['Hi there! I had something pretty interesting happen recently. It made me really think about how much things have changed over the last couple of decades.', 'Really, what happened?', 'My parents gave me some boxes of some things that they have been storing at their house that were full of things from my childhood.']
Wow, I bet that was pretty interesting to look through and remember those days gone by.  I hope the reminiscing was all good memories.
My parents gave me some boxes of my stuff that they had in storage at their house. I went through the boxes and they turned out to be full of things that reminded me of my childhood, like old toys and books I used to read growing up, including my diary.
