<![CDATA[I added to my jacket.]]>I added to my jacket.
This sleeve is a tribute to my son.
When he was just a little guy he didn't want to learn to read. To interest him I leaned into providing comic books and video games that required some reading to play.
He eventually embraced both reading and gaming.
We played Zelda together for hours on end.
Those were happy hours.
We vanquished evil more times than I can count.
Now I resist evil without him.

A beautiful tribute to your son! 💕
Thank you for resisting evil. Although we are thousands of miles apart, I am standing with you to resist.

They'd pause as long as it took me to read out the lines.
Thank you for sharing, and reminding me of the love that infused my own childhood.
He was lucky to have you.

The Zelda game is about a character who has to vanquish evil and save his world. The embroidery is the master sword he is given in the story.

I see a dagger, but that doesn't seem your style 😁.
