Can’t Go Back

Yesterday while bringing the Christmas decorations in from the garage I stumbled upon my leather bomber jacket I bought way back when I was in college.

Feeling nostalgic I tried it on and realized that I’m never going to fit my XXL shoulders into a Large jacket no matter how much weight I lose so I took it in the house and presented it to my youngest. “Want a 1990s vintage leather bomber jacket?” I asked.

“Sure, but I don’t know what I’d wear it with.” they replied.

I guess they figured something out because this morning I watched my old leather bomber jacket leave for school for the first time in 30 years.
