goodbye my two legged friend
I remember as if it were yesterday, the details as clear as the day Amara was born.
I eyed you from across the room. You were classic. Black. Straight legged.
At first, I wore you sporadically, only on special occasions. You draped my body perfectly. You made my legs miraculously appear long and slender. I adored you.
Then, I became pregnant. And as an obedient companion, you literally stayed by my side. You stretched and expanded into a size unknown to your tag. I began to wear you everywhere. Constantly. Through wash and wear, you did not complain.
You have witnessed parties and wakes. Meetings and cocktails.
I have searched but cannot find pants like you.
But now, nearly a decade later, it is time to say farewell.
This weekend I found more than just a hole. There are rips in the seams. I believe you are now sadly passed repair.
Thank you kind, dear friend for your service. I hate that we must part ways. But know I will always remember what you did for me - and my behind - fondly.

ReplyDeleteI had the same response as Jaci....hahahahhaha! I too have had a pair and you just hate to lose them. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I'm not the only one who feels like this about certain pairs of pants! I have one pair now whose hem and cuffs are being held by a series of saftey pins!
ReplyDeleteI wrote a similar post when I threw out my Juicy sweatpants.
