Good bye my favourite scarf~

I had a favourite scarf..it was green and had a metallic effect~ I got it from a far far away mysterious place~ a holy place called Kathmandu in Nepal~ my colleagues loved it and even asked me where to get it as they also wanted one~ I used it very often...be it in shanghai or when my travel~ it went with any outfit~

Two months ago, when I went to visit my sister, I decided to bring it with me~ it made me looked nice in photos~ and kept me warm in the plane and when I was outside~ 

That day, jenn and I left my sis' home early in the morning to catch a train to London from Paris~ abt 2 mins walk from home, I felt a coldness around my neck and just realized I forgot to take my scarf, so I ran back and called out for my sis downstairs...she lives on the 3rd floor.. In order to save time and without keys to go in, I asked her to just throw my scarf down... Without thinking, she threw it and the wind blew the scarf and it landed on her balcony of her evil neighbor instead of on my hand~ frantic and scared of missing our train, I asked my sis to threw me another of her scarf in knots and it landed safely. I asked her to help me retrieve it while I was gone~ worried that I might lose it~

I even called my sis from London to check if she had try to retrieve my scarf~ she said she did and the evil old lady yelled and said she didn't see it and slammed the door~ hopeless and feeling hopeful at the same time.. Mayb she couldn't understand my sister's super "good" French so we decided to wait for my bro in law to come back... According to my sis, evil old lady likes him more~

After 4 days in London, we returned to Paris and I saw the scarf was still hanging on her balcony~ tempted to use a stick to retrieve it but my sisters stopped me coz they didnt want me to end up in jail coz they wouldn't know how to explain in French~ for the next 3 days, I kept eying for my scarf, hoping a strong wind would come and blow the scarf to my hand~ my baby~~ hoping that my bro in law could come back earlier to help before something bad happened~

After returning home, my sis called one day and said:"the evil old lady was wearing your scarf to do gardening!" I was depressed, for I had lost my favourite scarf~ I even dreamed of it being returned to me! Now I have to accept for fact and give my blessing to my scarf~ take good k~

This is my favourite scarf that i used for the last time while in the Lourve~~ bye my dear~
