R.I.P.

[Natalie]

Today, I had to say good-bye to a dear friend. My favorite fat pajama pants.

I've had them forever. Don't even know when I got them. They've been with me through numerous menstrual cycles. They've traveled with me land and sea. They were what I put on after coming home from wearing binding clothes all day. They were my respite. If I was sick, that's what I wore. If I was having a bad day, they made me feel better.

They are ugly and worn and today, damaged beyond repair. I have repaired them many of times, but its beyond repair now.

So as not to be too heavy of heart, I have a runner up that I wear when these are dirty, so I will resort to them.

But,.... *sigh*... it's time to let them go.
