Boys need their dads, especially in modern U.S. culture. The next few years, and your choices, will shape his future as a man, husband, father. I know there are no easy answers- but my heart can't help but ache for your son, who is an ocean away from his daddy, and daily has to deal with the fact that his sister is with his 'new' family.S.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14678179307042059249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-77423947716095417432010-11-12T13:13:05.238-08:002010-11-12T13:13:05.238-08:00Danni, (((( )))) back at you.

The Girl has to specialize in something or she can't work anywhere, so we'll follow her path for a while. <br /><br />Piccola, it's well-described that we are on the same blogging wavelength. And apperently we, along with Steve, share a taste in books. I will have to read "A widow for one year", although, unfortunately, "158-pound marriage is next on my list" (it's the only one I have). <br /><br />Thanks for the comments, all.Fast Bastard - World's Fastest Hematologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439674206797439620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-73479974537158629442010-11-12T10:05:47.193-08:002010-11-12T10:05:47.193-08:00steveq - totally agree about 158 pound marriage wh...steveq - totally agree about 158 pound marriage which i just read for the first time last year in italy. however "a widow for one year" is actually my favorite book by him and well worth mentioning in the list of good books he wrote.<br />conversely, i would add "until i find you" to list of the badPiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-75972662270160868832010-11-12T09:37:20.232-08:002010-11-12T09:37:20.232-08:00Just looked up the World 100K Championship - did e...Just looked up the World 100K Championship - did everyone in the US have something go wrong??? Pat Russell (of WI, MN and now MI) had planned on 6:50 or so before the baby was born 20 weeks early and his life was put on hold. I know two others who had tragedies as well. The Danes DID do well, however!<br /><br />Irving wrote two good books, Owen Meany and (especially) Ciderhouse Rules and one okay one (Garp) - if you want total crap, I can send you my collection of his early stuff (158 Pound Marriage is particularly bad) - I must've been dating someone who liked his books at the time.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-88872650682654340082010-11-11T06:09:38.787-08:002010-11-11T06:09:38.787-08:00SR, I identified so strongly with this post (and n...SR, I identified so strongly with this post (and not just because a mention Owen Meany, possibly my favorite protagonist in modern literature, always gets my immediate attention).<br />I remember last year, our peaceful year, my year of exploration... I would sometimes tell myself - remember this, enjoy this very moment (even if I was waiting for a bus in the rain with a crying cocotte) because one day soon you will look back on it with yearning. And I already do... it is hard to enjoy the moment when important aspects of one's life are in limbo (and I can relate to that feeling of limbo right now as well) but we have to try. We have to embrace the moment. Worry about the future but embrace the now - your post sounds like you are doing exactly that. Children are such markers of time aren't they? BK (before kid) I would sometimes struggle to remember if we had done something a week ago, a month ago, 6 months ago... now I feel that every moment is so marked and poignant and etched in time.<br />Yes, your post really spoke to me.PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-80301402142209871962010-11-10T12:41:34.345-08:002010-11-10T12:41:34.345-08:00No it's a hug!!!

There are many cool options. But Fast Bastard, it is a complicated situation with the kids (luckily, you could pretty much work anywhere).

May be it's because I grew up in a male shovinistic culture, and deep inside, despite being highly opinionated, do follow what a man does (career-wise). <br />It's hard living by that quote. But we can try and get close:) At times I get so tired, I can't think even about tomorrow, yet along about years ahead.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-40952158788146656662010-11-10T07:33:03.058-08:002010-11-10T07:33:03.058-08:00(((((SR)))))(((((SR)))))Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.com
