Family note

The small receipt

lima left a folded receipt on the counter. Not because it mattered, exactly, but because small ordinary things become evidence that a day happened.

On the back, in pencil: "Met in 2022. Engaged in Oct 2025. Soon, In'sha'Allah, married. Keep the ordinary days safe too."
