... It was much too long too see you since last time. I looked for the photo of the GTG we met in 2008 or 2009, but couldn't. Instead I found an interesting - not at all good as a photo - pieces, which let me think that time does fly.
Both I found, taken in early 2008.
This is THE first real watch. Yeah, I thought this would be the first and last expensive shopping, hoping my wife - who had just passed away a few months before - would forgive. This hobby really helped me to fill the huge void that was left in me after she went.....
Ah, this one. After she went, I was diagnosed as cerbical hernia. I took surgery, just one night stay at the hospital. This was probably several weeks after the surgery. I don't remember why I said "yes" so easily to surgery, but everything was "yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever" mode that time. I took second one in the summer same year. The pain after the surgery was excruciating and I can't post the pic here because I look like a full-body suit with zipper in the back all the way down

.. and now, almost 10 years later. Here I am. Happy. I think.
Feel happy when you can and when you are. Being alive alone is happy enough. Now I know that. But until you lose, you won't know.
HGWE!
