Speechless by the fabulous gift of my RWG friends i got today


Cats

Recommended Posts

We have seen some threads lately showing that RWG is a community were you can make true friends during the years.

This morning i told my wife that i was getting sick and tired of laying in bed half of the day with no energy left after the radiation therapy.

She told me to be patient and that it will get better after a few weeks from now onward.

When she left for work i heard the door bell ring and I managed to get out of bed in time to open the door for the post man who had a parcel from Schuhren watches from Germany.

My first thoughts were " Did i send out to Andy for repair ??? "

When i opened the parcel my breath was caught in my throat.

You can't imagine how i felt when i realized what was in the parcel.

Realizing that my friends on RWG , several of them i met personally on the GTG's , gave me a present made my cry.

The inscription on the back makes me realize even more that i have some very special friends.

My wife and son told me that they were very impressed by the great gesture of my friends on RWG.

I owe a few watches some gen and some reps but this one , next to the Tissot I inherited form my dad , is more then a GEN and has a great emotional value.

GUYS I CAN'T FIND TO RIGHT WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS GREAT TOKEN OF FRIENDSHIP.

THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I'M NOT ALONE IN MY FIGHT GIVES ME A LOT OF STRENGTH AND POSITIVE ENERGY.

This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,

And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,

And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,

But he'll remember, with advantages,

What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words-

Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,

Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-

Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remembered-

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

And gentlemen in England now-a-bed

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Godspeed, Cats.

It warms my heart to hear that you like it my friend! Now stay strong, positive and do not forget that you are not alone in this fight.. We are all here for you!

Looking forward to see you again at the next GTG! And when that happens, please bring this latest addition to your collection, because it looks simply stunning on your wrist mate! :wub:

A wave of emotion rolled over me when I read this. We are a great family here and we take good care of each other. We can accomplish anything if we put our minds to it.

This gift came from the heart and was built with community spirit, love and with you in mind.

The watch looks fantastic on your wrist too!

Well, friends, even distant, are the best medicine down here.

Some of us met you, some not, but many wanted to send you more than just best wishes.

I will certainly not pretend I know what YOU are fighting.

But being the other half of a wonderfull woman who just finished the Radio Therapy herself, I have a much better picture of what it means than when you and I sit talking about cancer at our first GTG waiting for everyone to arrive.

No need to say how much I am impressed by the force you guys can show.

The watch is awesome, the watchmaker isn't as awesome :o, but he made a great job :p and is a fantastic human :thumbsupsmileyanim:

So are you Cats.

I keep my finger crossed and am certain that you and your familly will find the strenght and patience to go through all this, once again.

Hoping for the last time!

All the best from us here in Brussels,

Warmest regards

Stephane
