Daily Blogging Challenge: Day 149

Tweet

Heyyy, look at me, I’m getting in another Daily Blogging Challenge haha. :p “Name something you lost or gave away that can never be replaced.” Ughhhhh, I know this one right off the bat. My late Dad’s dark blue sweatshirt. It was just a plain sweatshirt that I found while straightening up, and I asked my Mom if it was okay to wash it and start wearing it. She said it was okay to do so. I have one of his t-shirts and one of his Air Force uniform shirts, but I don’t wear those. I keep them in a safe place. So anyway, I was getting rid of stuff, and I realized two sweatshirts were missing. One was my John Cena (WWE) hoodie, and the other was, you guessed it, my Daddy’s sweatshirt. I don’t know if it got mixed up in other stuff or placed in storage (I’m hoping that’s the case and it reappears), or if it accidentally got donated or tossed. The same can be said for my John Cena sweatshirt, except I *CAN* replace that if I find one on eBay. And yes, I can always buy a new blue sweatshirt, but it’s not the same. I know it wouldn’t smell like him or whatnot because I needed to wash it, but the point is it was MY DAD’S sweatshirt. He’s always with me, of course, but it would’ve felt like a piece of him was with me when I’d wear it. So buying a new one at the store isn’t going to cut it, at least not for me. I’m hoping it reappears someday, and that I didn’t accidentally get rid of it, but luckily, I still have the two other shirts I mentioned, plus his coffee travel mug that I bought him from 7-11 a while before he passed. Mom gave it to me since I do drink coffee and bought it for him. It kind of leaks, so I didn’t get rid of it, but it’s also in a safe place. I know that may seem like a “waste” to some, but I don’t care, it was my Dad’s and I don’t want to part with it. Besides, I can still drink out of it without the lid if I want to. Anyways, that’s it for today’s writing challenge. Take care, everyone. Photo Credit: I snapped this picture of my Daddy and me back in 2008. My younger sister is cropped out (of this copy) because I didn’t get her permission to post her on MyLot, and I don't feel like bothering her to do so lol.
