Whenever I hear the brand Clarks shoes I always remember my dad. He was a very casual person who often went around wearing shorts, t-shirts and slippers. He was not very particular about clothing brands and was comfortable just wearing give away t-shirts from all kinds of products. He was, however, very particular about the brand of shoes he wears. He might only have one or two pairs at a time but they were always branded. His favourite was Clarks. I cannot remember him buying them though. The shoes were usually gifts from relatives or friends, and that was what he had a lot of, friends. He was funny and can talk to all kinds of people, from carpenters to bank managers. Even though it’s been almost ten years since he died, I still miss him. I guess when you lose someone you love, you never get over the sense of loss. The feeling may diminish overtime but it never completely goes away.
