Good day to you all, I got a weird story for you all. I just stepped outside to smoke a cigarette when I realized that my lighters birthday is coming up. Yes, my lighter. I bought this Zippo lighter on Oct 3rd 1987 the day after I got out of Bootcamp for the Marine Corps. This lighter has been through it all with me. It has traveled around the world with me. It has seen more things than most people I know. It has been there with me through the good and the bad. It has lighted my way when I need to see, has helped keep me warm when I was cold, it has helped me relax when I went to sleep, and kick started my day with me. It stuck with me through two divorces and was there at my side raising three kids. It has seen the good and bad in me and never turned its back on me. It seen me as a drunk and seen me though to being sober. It has seen me at my best and at my worse and never failed to support me. For 33 years at my side, never letting me down, never judging me, just being reliable and dependable.
