It probably wasn't Momma's favorite garment, but it is comforting. I'm sure that when you don the jacket that belonged to our friend you feel the same connection to the past that I am feeling in this coat. Yes, I don’t know why the coat is so important, Jeni.

It's interesting that you say that "touching" a keepsake transports you. I do that, and thought perhaps I was just ... um....imaginative. Glad to know I'm not alone. Wow! Both daddy and great grandaddy arrived on the same day of the year? Wonder what the odds are on that? Thank you, Michelle! It’s interesting that you say that “touching” a keepsake transports you.

It was a marvelous day. Old Spice? I'd have guessed that you would wear it. You just seem like an Old Spice kinda guy, and I mean that in a good way :grin:. The garments and trinkets that we save to remember our loved ones interest me. Sometimes I try to decipher "why" I choose certain tokens. With these two, it wasn't hard to figure it out. The garments you kept to remind you of your daughter sound wonderful ... it sounds like they give a delightful glimpse of her. Peace sign, prom dress, baggy red coat ... yep, that's a teenager, alright. From everything you have written about her, she sounds like she was a lovely young woman. I ache to think of your loss. But, when you are missing her, put on that coat and just sit quietly. I'm finding peace in Momma's coat right now, maybe you can find the same. Thank you for the birthday wishes, Joe.
