Gathering to Write Legacy Letters by Candlelight
The heart of Willis, Texas, was beating strong as we prepared to write our legacy letters for the town’s time capsule, each one illuminated by soft candlelight flickering across the community center tables. The excitement of including a cherished Christmas candle from the shop was only matched by the discussions about what would last and what truly matters.
