Lost: postcards from grandma in Galveston

I was on The Strand outside The Tremont House at about 7:15 PM last Sunday when I realized my postcards were gone. They're a small stack, pale blue with seaside photos from Galveston, and they all came from my grandmother, who died last year. I kept them in a tin inside my bag, and I swear I last saw the tin near the bench by the Strand entrance. I retraced my steps to the Seawall and back to the Tremont, asking a couple strangers if they’d seen a tin, but nothing turned up. Losing them feels like losing a piece of her, something I can’t replace, and my heart aches a bit every time I think about it.
