When I was a little boy, my daddy had a favorite shot glass that he would use, when he was drinking José Cuervo Tequila.
It was a bottoms-up shot glass made out of depression glass. I always thought it was so cool, because he couldn't put it down, until he drank the shot.
One day, I was getting a glass for water from the cupboard, and the glass slipped out of my hand and fell on his favorite shot glass, and it shattered to pieces. I felt so bad that daddy lost his favorite shot glass.
When I got older, I would always look for a replacement bottoms-up shot glass, even after he passed in 1992.
One day I was searching eBay for something and thought I would check for the shot glass. I found the one in my selfie, it's a reproduction, not depression glass, but it still reminds me of daddy when I see it in my liquor cabinet.
For your information, daddy didn't stop drinking José Cuervo Tequila, after I broke his favorite shot glass.
