This is a lighter. It belonged to my favorite actor Paul Newman. One day, he came to the restaurant where I was waitressing and accidentally left behind. For the first time in my life, I did something I wasn’t supposed to and slipped it into my pocket. One of the customer saw and said “Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.” That customer turned out to be the love of my life, your grandfather.

So, my Alex, who I love so dearly, who is probably too much like me for her own good, every once in a while, don’t be afraid to break the rules. You never know what can happen.
