I have carried this object, this dart, with me all my life. It may seem strange to cherish such an everyday object, but to me it is more than just a piece of metal. It represents a deep emotional connection with my father, who taught me the game and taught me how to aim for my goals, both on and off the dartboard.
Just as some people always carry jewelry with them, I will also try to keep this dart and pass it on to my children. It is a part of who I am, a memory of a person very dear to me. I feel so connected to my father and hope that my children will also feel that connected to me later.
