So very touching 💖

I wonder how many people may have a Zippo Lighter story?

My Daddy always kept his in a front shirt pocket. A pack of smokes and his zippo.

Daddy was my world and he was the one who got on the floor to play with his me, the third little girl who was I feel a “surprise” for Christmas (due date)

I have no idea what we were playing but his lighter fell out of the pocket and of course hit me in they face (the eye) he was devastated! It didn’t hurt to much but it did give a nice shiner. The black eye lasted almost 2 weeks. I felt awful for him - I kept telling him “it’s okay daddy it doesn’t hurt”.

Daddy died when I was twelve.

I am beyond grateful for that Zippo and that black eye. It was such a great time in my life.

Thank you so much for reminding me today 💖
