My late husband’s prized watch was left for our son in his will. My new husband says it would mean a lot to him if I gave it to his son from his first marriage, who just turned 18.He insists it’s a small price for blending our families. I told him that blending families doesn’t mean erasing my son’s legacy. He called me selfish,

I stood in the kitchen, staring at the watch on the counter. It rested there in its little velvet box, glinting faintly in the morning sunlight. My late husband, David, wore that watch every day for years. It wasn’t just a timepiece; it was a piece of him.I still remember the way his hand rested on the steering wheel as he drove, the watch peeking out from beneath his cuff. He would tap it lightly when he was deep in thought. It was more than just an accessory—it was a constant part of our lives, a silent witness to the family we built together.When David passed, I knew I had to protect the parts of him that remained. His wishes were clear: the watch was to go to our son, Ethan, when he was old enough to understand its significance. It was something David wanted Ethan to have to remember him by, a symbol of their bond.But now, here was my new husband, Mark, telling me to give it to his son, Liam. He said it would be a gesture of goodwill, a way to bring our families closer. I understood where he was coming from.
