Great story, Victoria. Well-written, poignant and relatable. I've still got a leather coat I got for Christmas when I was 15. I haven't worn it in over half a century, but I can't let it go. I felt so stylish in it. And there's a blouse in my closet that I traded my boyfriend's sweater for. I had given him the sweater for Christmas, and he forgot to take it with him when he left my apartment. I decided if he thought so little of the sweater, I would trade it for a blouse, so I did. When he asked later about the sweater, I said, "Didn't you take it with you?" He wasn't the man I ended up with, thank goodness. But I've still got that blouse.
