Even better! I thought to myself as I pulled them on. They were the perfect fit.
When I handed over the money little did I know that these boots would accompany me on some of my greatest adventures. Each year I make a journey overseas and that year, I was making arrangements to visit Helsinki (the capital of Finland), so naturally, I packed the boots. It was winter, but the boots protected my feet from the cold weather. I wore them everywhere. The boots even accompanied me as I walked through the night to find live music. I felt right at home among old friends.
In 2009, I went to Aunt Lorraine's home to attend my cousin Jason's birthday party. While we were talking, Jason stared at my boots.
He asked, “Where did you get those boots?”
“I bought them at your family's garage sale,” I responded.
Jason flew into a rage. “Mum! You sold my boots? I bought them in Milan and I've worn them through New York, London, Berlin and Paris,” he shouted.
After a silence, however, he laughed and said, “Thanks a lot, Mum!” We spent the rest of the evening sharing memories of the journeys we'd both had wearing the same pair of boots.
The boots are no longer fit for wear, but I have held on to them as a memento (纪念物) of the last decade, the places we have walked and the memories we now share.
