We were celebrating my 50th birthday Sun. when my dad passed on a pocket watch that my Granddad had owned and given to my dad when he was younger. I knew it was something special when my father was tearing up when I picked up the simple bag it was in. I have seen my father cry twice in my life now. The other time was the night before I left for bootcamp. He could not have given me a million dollars and meant anything more to me than that simple family treasure.

You don't teach that kind of respect BTK. You earn it. So nice to see. I will cry right along with you and your dad. What a wonderful thing for your father to do.

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

Hey, I started to tear up as I read your narrative... The look on your father's face tells it all. Such a beautiful image, and so many thanks for posting it.

Oh my goodness this is such a wonderful shot! I feel like a bit of an intruder in this moment, but also very privaliged to share it. I have to agree with Joy ( logun) this has also made me tear up. I just love everything about this. Happy Birthday x.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.
beautiful and touching, no words can express that look on his face...But it certainly brightened my day today. :)

People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.
-Elizabeth Gaskell
Heloo Billy....Treasure this picture for the rest of your life my friend....That tear in your dad's eye is the unique human way of expressing strong emotions and this picture certainly conveys his love to you....All the very best to you Billy.................Mick.
