What a beautiful and sobering story, @ericvancewalton. As you said, we are a generation used to the disposable. Our belongings and even our feelings are disposable. I loved the way the watch looked. It really is a relic and an honor, and a commitment, to wear this watch. Sometimes we forget that it is not the objects but what they mean, the history behind them. Thank you for sharing and happy New Year to you and the family.
