The Toy

I just placed in the garbage can a toy that my son has held onto for many years. It was a simple toy and beat up by time and wear but it held great significance to him. A friend whom he lost years past played with this toy with David. It took time for David to release this item but he no longer needs it to remember his friend. There are some things we need to hold on to in life and some things that we need to say goodbye to and move on. Not that we forget those memories but sometimes they bind us to the past.
