so long {sniff}

We're ball-parking it at 9-12 years ago,

 but none of us can really remember when we bought it.

Only that it was much loved,

and it came from Kohl's,

and for a flannel shirt, was kinda expensive, (though, of course, on sale)

but it was sooo soft, that it was worth it.

That shirt quickly became Tyler's favorite.

And I've been known to wear it on more than one many occasions.

(In fact, I was the one that got a little bit of yellow paint on it when we built the  kid's kitchen

when I was hugely pregnant with Lex'.

I always felt bad about that. Sorry, Hon'.)

When Luke and Lana got married,

Tyler and I spent hours looking for a comparable flannel shirt for Luke, for Lana to steal.

We finally settled on one,

but it wasn't as soft and comfortable as Tyler's.

I patched it a time or two,

but time and over-use had its way with it

and today, it went rather unceremoniously into the trash.

brand-new, almost...

Goodbye shirt. 

Thanks for the memories.
