My daughter gave me a red and black plaid flannel shirt yesterday that literally brought me to tears. Dad always wore an old Woolrich red and black plaid hunting coat, and the same pattern in his flannel shirts too. The classic hunting outerwear.
I haven't put on a plaid in years, and it sure brought back the memories. She had no idea what this simple gesture meant to me. Next fall, I'll be wearing it with pride during deer season.
