A Cufflink

A number of years ago my father passed away and I drove from Toronto, to New Brunswick. I attended the funeral and it was very sad. My father was 87 yrs. old and had a good life.

The next day some of my cousins came over and my dad was very close with them. We gave them some of his things. I saw a cufflink in one of his bureau drawers and asked my brother if it would be ok for me to have it. It appeared to be gold and had a very small stone in the outer portion of the cufflink. I took it and placed it in a pocket of a leather bag I had.

A few days later I went back to Toronto, I was living in an area north of Toronto called Bradford. I got home ok and the following day I was going to Newmarket and was just leaving Bradford. They were doing some repairs to the Bridge and the area was in a rough condition. I noticed something bouncing on my hood. I thought it might be a rock or a bug of some kind. The road and the bridge were really rough so what ever it was should have just bounced off but it didn't. I stopped the car and went out and the object was still there. It was the cufflink, I couldn't believe that it went from the small leather bag to my hood but there it was. I felt it was my father in his way was saying goodbye to me.

I still have that cufflink today.
