Goodbye my good ole trousers

This is a letter to my favorite pair of jeans.

Dear Jeans,
I purchased you in 2001, my freshman year of college.  You were hip and made my bottom look hot.  I loved slipping my legs into your 98% cotton 2% spandex blend.  You traveled with me from Virginia, to New York to Hawaii and back home to Utah.  I left you behind, tucked safely in a box, when I went to Puerto Rico.  When I came back to claim you, you were a little more snug than when I left.  I pumped and I sweat in order to fit loosely into you again.  After I got married, I gained too many happy wife pounds, and could no longer bare to tear your tiny threads as they stretched across my legs.  Again, I had to say farewell until I was able to fit into you again.  For three long years, although unseen, you did not go forgotten as I regretfully purchased larger and larger pants. 
Finally, yesterday, May 4th 2011, I pulled you out of the box you had been hiding in for years, and slipped you on.  To my astonishment, you fit!  I have been working hard, running, sweating, and declining many sweets so that I could see you again.  But, the sad truth is, I just don't like you anymore.  You are no longer fashionable, you have bleach spots, you have frayed bottoms, and are thread bare in other places. So I must bid you adieu, donate you, and never see you again.  I hope that the next person to wear you has many happy times in you.

Lovingly,
Sabrina
