it has served me well. and it was finally time. this massive, warm, full-length, fluffy coat that has seen me through many things, was now meant for someone else. we have been together for two long seasons. one of them very, very long. my polar-voretx partner.
and now, it is time. other people need coats. and without a further thought, i shall pass it on. who knows who will next wear this so proudly and so comfortably?

 

favorite memories of my coat:

protective floatation device when sliding twice on ice, and into water once, under cars

playground warm up center

child wrap as needed

comforter

dirt collector (forgot why i chose white)

sledding partner

outdoor hockey game protective shield from cold

blizzard survival device

pet bed/sanctuary

accidental car cleaner-offer of road salt

seat cushion at many games

snowball fight shield

concussion-saving wrap when demonstrating what not to do on playground ice in order to stay safe, and then doing it

Do not judge others by appearances, for a rich heart may be under a poor coat! -Scottish Proverb quotes
