This is hard to write
Yesterday is one of the worst days of my life. At the end of a long fight with Hodgkin's Lymphoma my wife and I have lost our Son. The watch you see above is the Aragon Armour 3D LE #14/50.
Let's back up a bit. Earlier this year I developed this new found fascination with watches and collecting. I've been really enjoying it and learning more by the day. In October my 31 year old son was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The treatments were unbelievable taxing physically and emotionally for him. I wanted some physical and tangible way for him to know that I love and support him.
We all know that pink is the symbol for breast cancer awareness. Well purple is the representative color of Lymphoma. A few weeks later while watching an Aragon new release presentation I saw this. It was perfect. So I took the little change I was saving for another watch and got it. He was so happy. He had only ever worn smart watches before. So I explained to him how it works and what makes it so special. I told him my thought process on why I got it and saw his face light up like I haven't seen in years. That was at the end of September.
I miss you so much Tay, I love you
You are a King and my life has been blessed to have been in your presence.
Forgive me WC. I desperately needed an outlet to write down my feelings at this moment
A watch novice. My collection goal is affordability, quality and style. #BallingOnABudget
Sending love & condolences
I’m sorry for your lost my friend 😢…
Condolences Simon. That's a beautiful gift you gave him and I'm sure whenever he looked at it he was reminded of your love.
Geeze, I can't even imagine.
So sorry for you & your family's loss.
I'm so sorry, brother.
Sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family.
I am so, so sorry about the loss of your beloved son.
My condolences to you and your wife. May your son’s memory be a blessing for you.
My heart breaks for you
My condolences for you and your family during this time. My wife and I will be keeping your family in our prayers. And I know for a fact your son cherished that watch.
I read and listened to so many people talking about your watch having a story or memory linked to it. This is not what I imagined they meant in the least. This memory will be honored and cherished forever. Thank you ALL for your loving kindness.
I'm so sorry for your loss, friend. Love the tribute to him, he sounds like an amazing guy.
Thanks for sharing and our deep condolences for you and your family, praying for ur comfort
Condolences, that watch is so much more than just a watch now.
So sorry for your loss, my condolences for you and your family.
Very sorry and sad for your loss. 🖤
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing.
Oh man. No words can console you and your family. Love and strength!
Not that I can even imagine, but I'm so sorry to hear about your son.
So very sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss. As a Dad of two young sons, I can only begin to imagine how you must be feeling. X
Condolences 💐
Sorry for your loss!
Just so sad to hear. But glad you made that bond with him in September. I’m sure he knows how much you love him, and now you have him everywhere you go, especially if you ever wear that Aragon.
Sorry for your loss
Deep condolences to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your story.
I am so sorry for your loss my dear friend! I cannot even imagine how hard this is for you and your family. Please accept my sincere condolences! I lost my mum from cancer last week at the age of 67. I don’t know if that will help at all but I really believe that our loved ones are in a much better place. There is no pain nor any form of struggle. They want us to stay strong, keep remembering them and be together with our families! Take care and stay strong Simon!
Great song! We come from somewhat of the same religious backgrounds. I was raised Baptist and Catholic. I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior in a Baptist Church. My brother is an ordained minister and is a profit. I have seen too much so I can never not believe. When I first read your post the Lord put his prayer on my heart. I have said it many times for you. God bless my friend.
Thank you Shane
