An Ode to my Montreal Expos T-Shirt

I have a Montreal Expos T-Shirt. Don't ask me why, but it's my favorite shirt...ever. I bought it at a garage sale when I was 15 during my I'm kinda grunge (but not really) and secretly wish I was from Seattle stage of life. I was really into thrifting and I stumbled across two vintage sports tees. One a hideous orange and black Philadelphia Flyers tee the other my prized Montreal Expos tee. I absolutely have no clue about either of these sports teams (do the Expos still even exist...no idea.) This is completely irrelevant because at the end of the day who knows what happened to the flyers tee but I do know that at 30 years old I am blogging about my love of my Expos tee as I wear it. What's so special about this tee you might ask? It's only the most comfortable shirt ever! The cotton is so ridiculously soft after my 15 years of wearing it and who even knows how long it's been around before I owned it.
Truthfully, it's not even something I can put into words as I have tried to explain to my husband many many times why I insist on keeping this shirt despite the fact that it is now thread bare in spots. It's simply become a part of me. Who am I without my Expo tee? It's seen me through literally half of my life and for sure the more exciting half. I definitely write this with a heavy heart because after all these years and the holes showing through I think this might be the time, now that I go through all my things with our upcoming move, that we finally part ways. *tear*

So, to my Montreal Expos Tee I say, thank you for keeping me comfy as I cried over silly boys in high school, as I stayed up all those late nights studying through college, as we drove all those times to visit Daniel in L.A., as I sweated my ass off during spin class at the gym, as I traveled through Europe, as I started my career, as I married the love of my life, as I bought my first home, as I stretched you over my pregnant belly not once but twice (sorry about that), and as I sit here drinking my coffee and watching my two beautiful kids play together. You have been more than just a great thrifting find...you have really been a part of some of the best parts of my life and for that I say thank you. You will be missed.
