Something happened tonight, something I've never had happen before, that I can remember. I've been wearing one of Dad's wrist watches. This one is a green-faced Seiko I've seen on his wrist many times. Tonight, perhpas needing a hug, or just feeling fanciful, I touched the band of the watch with my fingers and thought about how it had been next to his skin and in such fashion how it makes him somehow closer. So, I'm touching the watch and it was like being hugged, I felt him, felt his presence and it was so warm and welcome I nearly cried. I broke the contact and went back to work. But it was odd and strikes me that it should feel creepier than it does (cause there is a definite creepy element.) But for a second tonight, it was like I had Dad back again.
