But whatever I do own, I love.

I've had to say goodbye to many, many things in life.

Some are easy to part with.

Few are tossed away without a thought.

And some…some are goodbyes that take a part of you with them.

I know that things are not just things.

They don't just accumulate wear and tear.

They collect the dust and the time and the memories.

But sometimes, the treads on a pair of shoes are worn too deep.
