Wonderful story, as usual jackknife. If I didn't know better, I would think I teared up a little bit, but it's just the dust in here..

That dust gets everywhere dont it ? Just got me.

Lovely story Jackknife. My Nan died recently and just the other weekend my Father handed me an envelope containing something she wanted me to have. It was my Grandad's wristwatch, given to him for twenty-five years service as a stoker for an electricity generating company. Now I have his watch and his penknife, very special. I've since had a falling out with my Father. I should ring him. Thanks.

I'd love to see those.

I've ... had a falling out with my Father. I should ring him.

Yes, you should. Life is mighty short.
