Dad gave me his watch 2 years ago & reminded me change the batteries when it stops ticking.
Like his heartbeat, his Omega Constellation has stopped ticking.
Uncle Sam is helping me to change the batteries & adjusting the strap to fit my wrist.
Near the end of his life, dad lost a lot of weight. Still, I noticed that his hands were bigger than mine. Minutes before his passing, he held my left wrist with his left hand & I did the same. We locked hands for a brief but meaningful moment. Wearing this watch is the closest I can get to having dad hold my hand now.
