She looks back over the years and sees suitcases instead of chapters in her life.
Each suitcase is unique in its own way. Some are shiny and new while others are battered, dirty, or just falling apart at the seams.
Inside each are stories, like a time capsule; some seeming unbelievable and incredible. True stories, amazing stories, peeling away the layers of life and getting to the very center of who she is, the core of her being.
Her name is Sadie and she fears some of the suitcases. They hold dark secrets and painful memories yet inside the very same suitcase are some wonderful events. Oh why do they have to be in the same one?
Sadie is examining the suitcases surrounding her. She wonders how she accumulated so many and can't seem to remember where they all came from but the pile is high and far-reaching. She moves them around looking at the cases and sees a particular case. It is the ugliest one in the entire collection. This one was acquired only a few years ago and it has been filling up for about 15 years. This is the biggest and ugliest suitcase she has ever seen. Sadie won't open it; not yet anyhow. The others came first and her journey has to begin with a small little suitcase that arrived along with Sadie in the early 60's.
And so it begins.
