Cremated Slippers

Cremated SlippersMy slippers have lasted two years having been worn every day, they are a part of me and even though they are close to tatters, I remain loyal with them. My Galia bought me a new pair as a surprise today. As I pulled the chair from under the table to sit down, they were staring me in the face. They were really nice but I didn't see the need as my old ones where still doing their job. That very evening there appeared a gaping hole in my old slippers as I took then off to go to bed. It was as if to say goodbye fair feet I knew and served you well. These will now be cremated in the wood burner along with my sandals that died two days ago.

  1. Martin sadly in Thailand we are not allowed to wear shoes in the house (Thai/Buddhist tradition) so my slippers are somewhat redundant too!

  2. It's like losing an old friend when you have to say goodbye. Think of the stories they could tell!
