02/19 My Son Treasured His Vans Skate Shoes and the Memories That Went with Them
My son is a grown man today, and I am so proud of him. Sometimes I get a brief glimpse of the little boy inside. Last week we were looking at old videos of him in his prime as a skateboarder. Little kids used to follow him around the neighborhood to watch him, and he had quite a reputation with the girls as well. As we laughed about the old days, he told me that his favorite pair of Vans Skate Shoes were his black and white checkerboard ones. In fact, he admitted that he still had a pair in his closet that always reminded him of those carefree days. I sensed a tiny moment of sadness, and then we moved on.
