"I noticed that there was a door there, not the kind that was opened with a key, and it had a latch on it," says Anna Priraman, an American woman who recently stumbled upon her home.

All along, I didn't notice
Anna Prilaman lives in Henrico County, Virginia, usa, and is 40 years old.
According to Anna, not long ago, she saw that the weather was good, so she began to clean the house.
(Anna Prilaman's home)
It was during this process that Anna found a plank. Because of its secluded location, Anna hadn't noticed it all the time.
I saw that there was a latch on the top of it, which should be a door.
Looking at it, Anna's curiosity could not help but surge up.
"Why is there a door here?" Behind it, what's hidden? Anna wondered, wanting to find out.
But at the same time, inside, she also felt a little scared.
After a while, Anna plucked up enough courage and stepped forward. She reached out and opened the latch, then carefully pulled it open along the side of the door.
At this moment, a room appeared in front of her.
Seeing what was in front of her, Anna couldn't believe her eyes.
In fact, Anna has been living here for a while.
But all along, she didn't know that there was a room hidden here.
Because the light inside was very dim, Anna couldn't see what it was for a while. At that moment, she was full of anticipation, hoping to find some precious treasures inside.
Soon, Anna took it and turned on the flashlight.
Through the light, she finally saw the whole picture inside.
As you can see from its layout, it was supposed to be an attic, and there were some things there.
Anna couldn't contain her excitement and searched carefully.
Finally, she found two boxes. To her disappointment, however, she did not see any treasure in the box, but handwritten letters, and there were hundreds of them.
Anna picked up one of the letters and looked at them seriously, then picked up another... She discovers that they turned out to be love letters from a man named Vance to Betty Sue. Judging from the time of its payment at the end, these letters are 70 years old, which is also some years old.
What remains unchanged, however, is the emotion it reveals. From the words, people can feel Vance's deep love for Betty.
Although anna Priraman did not find valuable things such as jewelry, which made Anna Priraman more or less regretful, she was touched by the contents of the letter and felt that they were precious.
Find the grandson of the man in the letter
In Anna's mind, an idea came to mind to find Vance or Betty and give them to Vance or Betty.

So Anna Prilaman shared the incident on social media, which attracted widespread attention.
Luckily, after some time, the effort finally paid off, and Anna found a man named Dalton Lang.
However, he lives in Oregon, some distance from Anna's home.
Anna was so excited that she contacted Dalton via social media.
A beautiful love story is revealed.
(Vance and his wife Betty Sue)
It turned out that Vance and Betty had been dating for a few years and finally became a family, holding hands and entering the palace of marriage. They have both loved each other deeply for many years.
Sadly, they're no longer here, and Dalton is Vance and Betty's grandson.
Looking at these things that Anna Prilaman had sent over, Dalton was moved.

"It's a pleasure to learn about their (grandparents') past. Anna found these treasures and brought them to us, not only to us, but also to her, and she helped me connect with my past," Dalton said happily.
