Ten years of stories. Ten years of listening. What began as a simple idea — talk to strangers, ask a few questions, capture a moment — turned into a front-row seat to the soul of Galveston. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life, each bringing their own rhythm, perspective, and story to this island we call home.

It’s an experience that reshaped how he sees the world and the days he’s been given. Recovery wasn’t simple, but it brought clarity. At 69, Aundra lives with a deep awareness that his second chance came from an extraordinary act of generosity, and he doesn’t take that lightly.

Some reflections happen best in familiar places. At Gumbo Diner, John and Melissa reflect on a year that tested them, taught them, and ultimately brought them closer. Humans of Galveston: When you think about this year, what stands out first? John:  Gratitude, honestly. It was full — busy in a good way but also grounding. We put a new roof on the house, which sounds practical, but it felt symbolic. Like, okay, we’re investing in our life, not just reacting to it. Melissa:  Ye
