[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 562551, member: 14557"] Okay, this thread was right away helpful. One of the possibilities is already out. I will not give a watch to easy child. When Trinity mentioned she couldn't decide if she would vote keep it or give it to easy child, I wanted to write a novel why I shouldn't give it to easy child. So very clearly that is not something I want to do. It could be smart and safe thing to do, but it is not a thing I want to do. And after all, it is just a watch that is extremely important to me, not to anyone else, so what I want to do is a deciding factor in this. So now it is a choice between giving it to difficult child now or safe keeping it for him some more time. My grandpa died when my sons were six and three. My mother was his only child, I'm an only child of my mother so grandpa was very much a part of my sons early years. They were his only offspring. He and difficult child were close at the time, but of course difficult child was still young and he has only so many memories from that time. easy child really doesn't have much at all of his own memories of grandpa. Grandpa showed a watch often to difficult child and told about it, about his childhood and younger years and did promise that difficult child would get it for graduation. I of course don't know if difficult child remembers that promise. difficult child already had his first school/kindergarten struggles at the time and grandpa was consoling him by telling about his school years (it was not fun to be a child of divorced parents at the time.) I do know it was my grandpa's wish difficult child would get a watch in this point of his life. Probably even with all the gfgness. After all the symbolic value of the watch is in love and pride mixed with our dysfunctional difficult child family line. When young my grandpa was not free from gfgness of his own but soon after graduation Europe went to chaos and years of war and being a soldier and an officer made grandpa a very different man (but yes, he served in the duties very well fitting to certain type of difficult children.) I have some thinking to do on this still. But one option is out. [/QUOTE]
