Dad had a considerable collection of elephants. He especially liked elephants with upturned trunks which is a sign of good luck, long life, and happiness. He enjoyed going to yard sales not only to find elephants to add to his collection, but for the opportunity to meet others.
I gifted him Elijah, an elephant that caught my eye with its "smile" and expressive eyes. Elijah made my heart smile, and I wished the same for Dad.
I have now given Elijah a home with me. He continues to make my heart smile because I think of Dad, whom I miss dearly.
