🖼 At a flea market, I saw an old painting and bought it for pennies.
At home, while cleaning the frame, I noticed a strange inscription on the back.
It began with the words:
“For my daughter, when she grows up…”

I brought the painting home and carefully removed the backing. Underneath the layer of paper was a letter.
In it, a man wrote to his daughter that he had been an artist all his life, but had never been able to raise her—he had left for another country.
A couple of days later, I took the painting to an antique shop. There, I was told that it was the work of a famous local painter who had died many years ago.
The painting was worth much more than I had paid for it, but something else was more important to me: I began to keep it not as an object, but as a memory of someone else’s story, full of love and regret.
