I received a wonderful new messenger bag for a gift and I decided to sketch my old bag. My old bag has been a wonderful friend. Over the years, I ignored my friend then embraced. I forgot my friend then remembered. Every goodbye had a hello.
This current goodbye is lingering…however, it is underlined with hope. In the future, I could find my friend through happenstance rummaging through an old collection of things. Yes, I am not ridding myself of my bag….just placing it aside for the moment.
The saddest goodbyes are partings without a whisper of hope for a hello.

I love how you gave a personality to your companion, your messenger bag. It is indeed like an old friend to you, for it played a large part in your life as you did in its own.
Looking at its wrinkles, you can see the years you were together.
I am not surprised that you will keep it with you...you are a sensitive and sentimental individual.
For sure your new bag is very happy to come into your life. I expect you two to enjoy a lasting relationship.
Well said!
The old bad did have some history. I bought it in Chicago on a family vacation. I liked the easy access to the inner pockets. I could grab my wallet or phone with ease.
