Remembering Daddy

25 years ago my precious Daddy bought my son talking Mickey who was then $50. I will never forget him searching for it, because they were quite popular back in 1989, until he found one and he bought it over to our apt. and surprised his grandson with something he had asked for. I remember it like it was yesterday and of course Mickey got lost in the shuffle and hustle of moving and years passing and was nowhere to be found. I said just last week to a friend if I ever find one in the store I would get him for nostalgia sake. He was laying on the shelf waiting for me. When I saw him I had to pause for a moment because memories rushed in. I walked out the store with Mickey for $3. I am about to see what type of batteries he takes so I can get some to see if he talks. Even if he doesn't utter a word he has said much just by being there and now here with me.
