The Intrigue of Unanswerable Questions

Recently, as part of a home project, I bought a small oak picture frame from the local Goodwill Store, and it was used to frame a card with a Bible Passage:

The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving towards all he has made. (Psalms 145:13)

That is not the interesting part. On the back, in faded writing, someone had written, “Mrs. Brenda, We love you. Ron and an unreadable second name. This started me thinking about those simple messages we leave behind. Where is Mrs. Brenda now? Where is Ron? Are they still alive?

It’s interesting how someone’s long forgotten gift wound up in my hands. All I wanted was a frame for a post card…what I got was a list intriguing but forever unanswerable questions.
