Following the death of my 100 year old grandfather, I find myself, a few months later, helping my mother and my aunt packing up my grandparents’ house. A hundred years of stored memories, papers, photographs, furniture, and most of my grandmother’s life work as an artist. It has been an amazing process of unearthing a century of my legacy.
Among the items packed away in the basement was this beautiful zither and this leather-bound set of Goethe’s works in German.
