You are very, very smart parents. Bravo.

Thank you. I only mentioned it to state that in no way do my little angels look like they were born that premature. They have beat all odds to such an astounding degree.

Of course, I am not a perfect parent. For a long time I had a hard time with discipline, most likely stemming from the ordeal and the notion of their fragility. We practically lived at the UW for over three months, it was so trying on us but we did it. I have an immense respect for professional nurses now, the ones in the NICU are the best of the best and I give them more credit than the doctors for the most part.

Last night actually. Mom died last month, still dealing with it and for whatever reason things came to the surface when I was trying to go to sleep. :p

When my wife of 26 years and I divorced....still bothers me every day.:'(

don't let it get to you. you will always remember those good times and tend to forget all the bad.

However, people are just people and there is no logic in why someone changes. You just have to be happy the decision was made rather than dying with someone that doesn't want to be around you.

I loved my first wife and still miss 'her' to this day. She broke her neck and then changed mentally. Once I learned I couldn't change that, it made it easier.

In the end, for every woman that longs to rush home (or be there already) to get dinner ready, there is another looking for a quick stop to bust one out with some random dude.

Meanwhile at home, there is a guy hoping his wife had dinner ready 'already' and another that hopes she brings someone else home (male or female).

I never truly dated until I was divorced.

29th April 2011. My girlfriend and I separated the day before, and I basically cried all morning, went to an optometrist's appointment, came back home because I didn't trust myself to drive myself to uni, and then cried the rest of the day.

probably about a year ago. I was incredibly stressed with work and was having anxiety attacks.

this past friday night when i watched the dvd slideshow i made for my dad's funeral. my uncle passed away last week as well who i was close with, and seeing his kids and his wife, who is also my god mother, brought back a lot of feelings about me losing my dad. so i was drunk and thinking about him friday after i went out and popped in the dvd slideshow. cried like a little baby.

1997. When I was wading through limbs and body parts after a terrorist bombing.
