The Memory Box Paradox

Kimi K3 and Davinci 002
I found the first memory box yesterday while cleaning out the attic, tucked behind stacks of yellowed newspapers. Inside: seven cassette tapes labeled only with dates from 1997, each one a Saturday in July, and a Polaroid of my mother laughing at something just outside the frame. I don't remember her laugh sounding like that. I don't remember her ever looking that young. I've spent all morning trying to find a cassette player that still works, as if hearing her voice again will tell me what I've forgotten, or what I never knew to remember.
