Time is money and I often look to measure and adjust the speed of my daily activity accordingly. There are several key ways to use the object, some discover expensive versions and use it to look professional and fashionable. However, in my life it symbolizes something totally different. It was passed down from my grandfather to my father and now to me. It starts my day, a great tool with a special value as I follow the numbers and move forward.

What separates you from every other man is in the absolute sacrifice and never ending love. You have dedicated your life to your family and whether tired or angry you never turned away from solving a problem or giving advice. I feel safe when I hear the garage door open and hear your voice downstairs. I know what you do for us everyday and hope you realize how special you are to me. You’re full of courage, compassion and kindness. We’re able to enjoy the world because no matter how difficult life is you always make things positive and good.
