A Gift from John

After Jes' and Donny's wedding rehearsal at the church, John's dad pulled out of his pocket an old watch he used to wear.  He explained to Donny that he wasn't too sure where or when he got the watch, although he believes John's mom gave it to him.  He further explained that he wore that watch constantly -- that is until the day JW died.  After that, he started to wear JW's good watch, one JW was very proud of and which he had gotten not long before he had died.  John had purchased the watch in Hong Kong on one of his many trips abroad.  He liked it because it was part analogue and part digitized.  John's dad explained that while the watch was special to JW, it nonetheless paled in comparison as to how JW was a special man in Jes' life.  As such, John's dad then told Donny that since he was now the very special man in Jes' life, it was entirely appropriate that Donny proudly wear John's watch.  With that, John's dad took JW's watch off his wrist and presented it to Donny along with a warm welcome into the Leonard family as well as an admonition to make certain he wore it on his wedding day to ensure that he got to the church on time!  You can see the watch on the respective left wrists in the photos below
