Amazing story, G. May he cherish that watch for many decades, until passing it down to his children, so they can keep the family tradition alive.

What a story! I hope one day to pass a watch to my son who will pass it to a future grandson/daughter. If only we are all that lucky.

That was one of the most touching and inspirational stories I have read on TRF. Gerardo's family is enriched with tradition, discipline, hardwork, and love. I pray we are all so blessed.

Cool story about the watch and your son. A 300 person party for completing 6th grade throws me off a bit.
 Watch out for college graduation.

Mi mas sentido pesame Gerardo.
You are blessed with a good family and this is a most valuable gift. Truly better than money or material possessions. May your son wear, enjoy, and preserve the watch and your father in law's legacy for generations to come. |
