Thank you man, I have worked hard my whole life, made good and bad decisions and am fortunate enough to have acquired some things along the way, skills, understanding, knowledge and material items.
A pen is one of the most common event-significant mementos a people have I think, I have one too.
It's incredible the way events and the feelings that come from them can imbue themselves into material items, I think it's nice as long as it's the memory of the event and feelings or emotion, that are the most important thing.
