Final Wrist Shot

[superdog]

Not looking for sympathy. This happened months ago. I wanted to share at the time, but genuinely did not want the "condolences".

I wanted to share because it was a special moment for me. I have taken so many wrist shots with my dad throughout the years. This one was while he was in hospice. Of course, I only put it on him for the shot, as per his request. He was not regularly wearing it in the hospital.

That was the first night. We took him home the next day.

I got my love of watches from my dad. He did some work for Armitron when I was a kid. He used to bring some home for me from time to time.

He and I used to trade back and forth quite a bit as I got older. I bought him that DD2 years ago. He later "stole" my Explorer 2 while he was going through cancer treatment. That was about 6 years ago.

I do not lament his death. He was sick a long long time. I do however, celebrate his life and the time that I had with him. I love that we had watches to bond over.

As an aside this is why I bought the home in Fla, which I have made a quick mention or two about at times on here. I want to be close to my mother and I do not want her to be alone. I am back and forth quite a bit to NJ as I cannot uproot completely. But I did become a Florida resident, and I really do prefer it there. But I am going too far into the weeds now.

I just wanted to share what I think is a truly meaningful moment in any watch journey. And while I rarely get personal on the internet anymore, this was a moment of weakness and the old Seth has come out just a tiny bit.
