my poor slippers, which have been faithful to me, are nearing their end. i bought them in the winter of sophomore year because i was attracted to their beautiful stripiness. they went with me everywhere, too--friends rooms, meals in sodexho, wal-mart, the bars. they spent countless hours with me suffering through on weeks. it was not too long ago when i realized that they were on their last leg. i refused to believe it. instead, i found a safety pin so that they could continue to be with me. although, i subconciously knew the truth because i would browse through the slippers while at target.
finally, two days ago, the foam in them began to come out of it's own accord. as sad as it was, i had to face the truth: my slippers are not long for this world. while they will remain with me for the rest of this winter, they shall never see another summer as my slippers. instead, i have a new pair of slippers. while they are not as stripey as the old pair, they do have their own style about them (and were on clearance). and while we may not have as many adventures to exciting places like the bars or wal-mart that the striped slippers and i had, perhaps one day i will grow to love them as much.
now, if we could have a moment of silence...
While I am in mourning for your lovely slippers, I was excited to see them once more before the end. I will do my best to continue on through the evening on the memories of being with you in Target when you bought them sophomore year. Miss ya! kd.
