Greetings...

Yesterday, I lost an old "friend". Now, before you all send me hundre=
ds
of condolences and sympathy email cards, please continue to read on
because I know many of you will understand the "pain and sorrow" I'm =

feeling...

First, the background on the "friend" I lost...

Twelve years ago, while at a get together with a group of friends in
San Antonio, Texas, a few of my friends gave me a gift that, at the
time, was pretty funny, based on my single status. The gift was an
over-sized T-shirt with a picture of a female skeleton sitting on
a park bench with the words, "Waiting for Mr. Right" underneath the=

bench...

We all had a good laugh over it and I packed it in my suitcase to
bring back home with me. Because it was so big, I actually used it
as a nightshirt and smiled almost everytime I looked at the picture
on the front until I realized it probably WOULD be me in the near
future...

A few years later, I met Flyboy and the rest is history as far as
the bag of bones on the park bench. By the time I met Flyboy, the
shirt was not only "broken in", but one of my favorite lounging
around shirts. Nice and soft, baggy and unconstricting, and still
good for a laugh...

About a year ago, the shirt definitely started showing signs of
wear and tear and I do mean "tear". Small holes started to appear =

and the material was thin and worn from the repeated washings due
to the amount of wear it got...

Flyboy not only noticed, but asked me if I thought it might be time
to throw the shirt away. I can't tell you how indignant I got at the
thought and told him it still had a little "life" in it and I couldn'=
t
think of getting rid of it. He rolled his eyes and offered to buy me
a whole set of oversized t-shirts to replace the one that was starting =

to play "peek'a'boo" with some skin...

It was definitely one of those items that makes Victoria want to KEEP
a secret...

I decided to only wear it around the house when Flyboy was gone since
I have to agree that as far as sexy lingerie goes, this shirt would
turn off a blind man...

I got another year out of my friend and unfortunately, had to make the =

sad and distressing decision to put it out of its misery yesterday.
Flyboy was out of town, I wore it, threw it in the washer and dryer
and when I went to fold it, my fingernails actually went THROUGH the
neckline...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, not now, not so "soon=
"...

I knew what I had to do, but didn't do it at that time. I waited until =

Flyboy got home this morning and waited until I thought he would be
too tired to jump for joy...

I brought out my trusted friend and with a tear in my eye, I told him =

it was "time". I took one last look at it and threw it in the garbage=

can. Flyboy got up and walked over to the can and for a minute,
I thought he might pull it out and "save" it for me...

Nah...

He grabbed the bag out of the garbage can and took it straight to the
big can outside so I wouldn't change my mind...Sheesh, such trust!

So, tell me if you have ever had a hard time getting rid of something =

as stupid as a T-shirt and felt actual remorse and sadness at it's
demise?

I wonder if they have a "Rainbow Bridge" for old clothing...sniff, sn=
iff...
