She loved hearing about her dad and was always curious to get as much information out of her mother about him as possible. It was always nice to find out something new about him.
Birthday party
Sue’s eighth birthday was coming up soon and Karen had all types of plans about how she could make it the best birthday party ever. She wanted to go big this year and organize a surprise party with all of Sue’s friends. She felt like that would be a great way to celebrate.
So she called up all the people she knew and went to the store to pick out a gift for Sue. She couldn’t believe that it had already been eight years since the day she was born. Karen was just blown away by how time flies by, but then she remembered one more thing.
The map
She remembered that she made a promise to Peter on his deathbed that when Sue turned eight, she would give her his note. Karen couldn’t believe that she had almost forgotten about that. She rummaged through his closet and finally found the note. She had no idea what it was about.
All she knew was what Peter had told her, that it was a surprise for Sue. Karen looked at the old piece of paper and wondered how Sue would react when she got it. She prepared it all for her daughter and waited for that fateful birthday party to arrive. She knew it was going to be life-changing.
It begins
The party had begun and everyone was there to celebrate Sue’s big day. She didn’t know what to expect, but after seeing how happy she was to be with all of her friends, she knew it was going to be a good day for her beloved daughter, full of happiness and love.
As time went on, Sue was running around and playing with all of her friends. Eventually, people went home and it was just Karen and her daughter left in the house. Sue still had one more gift left, and Karen handed her the note that Peter had written for her all those years ago.
Hunting
Sue didn’t know how to react at first. She was touched to find out that her father had left her something from all those years ago. She opened it up and read it out loud. The note was directions for a treasure hunt of some sort. Sue’s eyes widened, she was so excited.
The note also mentioned how much Peter loved her and that he would always be there by her side. It got a few tears out of Sue, but she was so hyped up to do this treasure hunt, that there was no time to cry. She turned over the note and saw the map that was drawn on the back.
First clue
Even Karen looked over at the map with a puzzled look on her face. She had never seen that before, she knew what this was all about, but she had no idea what Peter had in store for them at the end of this hunt. Off Sue went to go and find the first clue, following the map.
The first clue was upstairs in her parent’s bedroom. When Karen heard that she was also very curious. She had no idea that Peter had hidden something in their bedroom. She followed Sue upstairs to see exactly what was waiting for them when they got there. It would be a mystery for sure.
Doorknob?
The map said that somewhere underneath the bed was a box that was waiting for Sue. Karen couldn’t believe it when Sue found it so quickly. She had no idea that box was even there, it was so small in shape and size she had never seen it before. She had cleaned underneath her bed many times before too.
The small box was opened quickly by Sue who couldn’t wait to see what was inside of it. She grabbed the object and showed her mom. It was a doorknob that belonged to some room. But they had no idea where that room was and how to find it in the house.
The missing door
The map would have the answers that they sought, so Sue looked back at the map and read the instructions that were on it. Now it was getting much more challenging for her, there were some poems and words that didn’t make sense on the first reading. She was going to have to think about it.
The instructions were open-ended and needed to be discussed and thought about. When she finally understood what the words meant, Karen gave her daughter a hint at what she thought Peter might have meant.
