10 Times People Went 'Dumpster Diving' And Didn't Regret It (New Pics)

#5 I Almost Threw Away a Love Story

During a house clean-out at an old retirement home, I spotted a bundle of old paper headed for the trash. I picked it up, mostly because the handwriting looked... romantic?

It was a stack of love letters. Real ones. From 1938. Full of longing and promises. "I think of you every day," one said. "When the war ends, we'll start our life together."

I cried. Then framed them. Now they sit on my bookshelf---a daily reminder that love survives everything. Even time. Even garbage day.
