Work Bag Brings Me back to My Childhood

Once my dad had a work bag, old but mighty, and now it has been passed on to me. Though I am not as much of craftsmanship as my father, I treasure the work bag as the one of the most precious thing of my life. It is not only because it is something that my dad almost kept for his all life span, as his son, I have to keep it, but also because it is the work bag that could bring me back to my childhood, remind me of my dad, of those golden days between my dad and me.
My hometown is located in a small town in freezing Minnesota, and my dad was a repairer for the people around the town. Like a mere nobody as you guys learn around your surroundings, of the sort that you may have a nodding acquaintance with but you never got to know his name, my father seemed like the jack of all trades. For the good reputation for his kindness and warm heart, my father got well on with almost all the people of the town, and our house never lacked guests.
Well, to tell the truth, my father was really brilliant on the stuff of repairing. Every time he stared at the stuff that the neighbors brought for repairing for a while, and later on took something out of his work bag, I knew that it would be fine. To then me at the age of 10 years old round about, it was a magic bag in which you could find all you need to figure out all the problems. At least it was to my dad.
Up to now, I could remember clearly those bygones: With the work bag, my father build a tiny wooden house as my 10th birthday present; with the work bag, my father let the church clock in the town work again; with the work bag, my father became one of the most admirable person in the town, which also made me very proud, because I was the son of one of the most admirable man.
All the scenes about my dad and his work bag alternate in front of my eyes like playing the movie. Let bygones be the bygones. For now, every time when I pass by the fashion bags for sale, I would notice the work bags. It seems that the work bags change with the change of the time.
Anyway, no matter how the time changes, how fashion bags for sale vary, how the world becomes different, the work bag, my dad's work bag will be alive in my world.
