I became very choked up when I opened an old box my dead mother had given me. In the box, I found a hand written note I'd never read before. 
I found something tucked away in my closet that got me choked up and sad.

It was a hand written note from my dead mother. I never had read or seen it before.

Wow that must have been very shocking. At least you can keep it to remember her by.
