Wow, what a revealing look at your past. It really made me think, I even had a few laughs. I remember my grandpa always told me never name an animal you plan on eating. Your past touched me, you have had to deal with much adversity in your life and too much death at far to young an age. I have only dealt with 2 deaths in my life and they were close but not parent or sibling close. I doubt I will be as strong as you. Your wife sounds like your mom a little. You said before she calls you on some of your stuff and even has a few choice names for you now and then (hope she can just call you Mr. Ape :) I can relate to not crying, I only cry in movies that have a deep family message in them or when I get upset with my family, mostly my father. A good cry helps, but like you said, when you have never done it, you have no idea how to start. I personally couldn't have written what you wrote without a few tears. I hope you see your family when you get to heaven, but for selfish reasons, I hope you do not make that trip for a long, long time. Thank you for sharing your story, I hope you know that your words have touched another a thousand miles away. Talk to you soon. Justin Mr. Ape,
