It is an inanimate object. It has no feeling; it can't be offended. Its duty is simple: protect.

It has seen many things, been many places and has a story.

It's kept him dry in the rain, warm in the cold and is a constant companion. Well, except for that unfortunate incident with the iron suit.

It has witnessed sunrises and sunsets; hellos and goodbyes; friends lost and friends gained.

It's been dirtied, bloodied and faded. It's been warm and cold, wet and dry.

It's been hugged, kicked, torn and mended.

It's succeeded and failed.

It's celebrated and, now, mourned.
