Thank you so much for sharing this story! My dad was a "penist" and he taught me to love the flow of a fountain pen.
I used my Grandmother's 1928 Sheaffer Vintage White Dot Balance Carmine Red Fountain Pen to study for my PhD comps and dissertation prep in History. I loved the mini-ness, it felt so perfect when writing. I recently brought her to Laywine's to repair the bladder.
Thank you! My heart is filled with quiet joy for you.
Lydia, thank you for sharing that. And I appreciate the kind words. What a lovely gift from your dad, the appreciation of something so special as a fountain pen. I’m happy for you and wish you well/Jeffrey
I had a dear friend, now no longer with us who was gifted a fountain pen by his father. They were poor and lived on the wrong side of the tracks, literally if you know Winnipeg. Before opening, his Dad said: 'this could make you a million dollars.' It never did, but I always appreciated his beauifulo prose written on that pen.
When I started reading it aloud, I had no idea what you were going to write, but I had absolute confidence that it would make us both feel better. And it did not disappoint. Thank you.

Andrew, thank you for that. Yes, there is something very very special about words that flow from the tip of a fountain pen. Many kind regards/Jeffrey
That’s just lovely. I’ve just read it to my wife, by the fireside in la France profonde, in between sips of a local red.
Thank you for that. I am flattered that you felt it was important enough to share.
