That sinking feeling

[Allalone]

I wasn't given a choice of colour with shoes/trainers when I was growing up. I once seen a red pair of trainers in a shop window when I was about 9/10. I told my granda about them and he was going to get me them as a bday present but when birth mother found out she told him that I’d never wear them and get her a pair of black ones instead.
I now have 3 pairs of red trainers!
