When your kids fell and hurt themselves..did you even give them a bandaid??

Yes, I did but I had a daughter. My parents raised three boys. We had our share of fights, broken bones, cuts, stitches, and bruises. My mother was an RN who treated us often. The rule was no crying when we were hurt or we would get something to really cry about. They prepared us well for life in peace and in war. And they both died with a toughness and dignity that I can only hope to emulate. They were the children of the Great Depression and WWII. They don't make them like that any more. And our country is the poorer for it.

That is a non-sequiter.

It doesn’t matter what sex your child is if he/she is hurting does it??

Or...maybe it does in your family.

Hey, I am all for men being men...I can’t stand the metrosexual crapola...but, jeez kabar...even ‘real men’ grieve when they lose someone....

These aren’t Marines out on the battle field..

Okay...forget it.

We both have our own opinions...and I am not saying I don’t agree with yours...I just think that 24 hours is too soon to expect these people to just get on with their lives like nothing happened.
