I was not lucky enough to meet my grandparents, they both died young, my parents and my grandmothers told me about them, but it would have been nice to be able to talk to them and get to know them.
The photos you took are beautiful; I love pocket watches and this one is really beautiful as well as having so much meaning.
I recently gave one to my Father and one to my Father-in-law for Christmas.
Instead, I gave it to myself.
It would have been nice to have one of my grandparents, however they left my father some hunting rifles which he keeps for us, I am not a gun lover but I will always keep that rifle with Love, when I touched it I felt a connection with my grandfather, it would have been nice to go hunting with him even though I've never been a great hunter.
mmm in the past of women maybe yes, but I was young and attractive eh eh!😉
It's a pity you didn't get to meet your grandfathers, however it seems you have some good memories through your dad and having that firearm is a nice keepsake.
I like pocket watches too, although it's not really practical to use one I guess. I think it would have been for me to have been born in earlier times, I feel I might have fitted in better; You know, back when people had manners and were polite to others?
Anyway, that's a nice pocket watch you got for your dad. It makes me think I really should start wearing my grandfathers. (I won't of course, I'd be devastated if it was damaged somehow.)
No, for heaven's sake, you must keep what they have left you, it would be a real pity if it were damaged.
What you see in the photos is worth a few euros, I liked the model and I always carry it with me; the ones I gave away are the best, in fact my Father and Father-in-law use them for special occasions eh eh!
In my opinion You would have adapted well in other times but you look great even in these, good wishes and education never go out of style, they are always green and for all times.
There are those who don't understand and don't know how to appreciate good manners but they are his problems; education is fundamental for me, rude people create discomfort for me.
"Fault" of my parents who taught me good manners heh heh!
However, if I had to go back I think I would choose the 50s.
