Like A Phoenix

Just as a phoenix dies and is reborn through its own ashes, coming to life again, so were the memories of Ann and Mike for the discovered item. Their memories related to the discovered item had vanished years back, but they were reborn as soon as they saw the item in the Goodwill store.

The Discovery

Ann and Mike had discovered a mitt, an old and rugged one, which was familiar to them. Although it was an old mitt, it was very precious and its value was immeasurable. Ann and Mike had become the luckiest people in a fraction of second on an ordinary visit to the Goodwill store.

The Mitt

The discovery of the mitt was so special and priceless for them both because it belonged to no one else but their own son. This was the reason why it was so familiar to them and what left them perplexed. But even after the discovery, there were several questions that were unanswered regarding the mitt, which became extremely questionable.

Ecstatic

Even though there were unanswered questions, Mike and Ann were extremely excited and on top of the world to have found the mitt in a thrift store and could not stop gazing at it, smiling, remembering their son.

Sans Any Doubt

Both the parents were sure and had no doubts on their mind about the owner of the mitt. It was their son’s. They remembered each and every little detail of the mitt and the distinct feature of the mitt was the name that was penned down on the glove. “I could see the name Christopher Lisi written down it,” Ms. Lisi said. “That is when I thought it is his, but it really didn’t seem possible.”

The Son

Christopher Lisi, the son of Julie and Michael, is 52-years-old now and had lost the glove at the age of 12. He now works as a Maths teacher and a football coach at Thomas Worthington High School, south of Columbus, and left baseball after his childhood. It would be interesting to know if the mitt refreshed his interest in the game or not.
