Hell dude, I cry at certain movies, and there were tears of joy on my face when my grandkids were born and there were tears of sadness on my face when my parents died... My point being that anyone that says men don't cry doesn't really understand what being a man is all about. Being a man means that you work throught the pain and you just keep going, but it never meant that you couldn't get emotional about things. You just have to put things in their proper place.

Look at MJ for an example. He cried when his mom passed not long ago, but if you look at what he's gone through and what he's going through right now with his health and his wifes health.... hell, he''s more of a man that most people I know and more than I could ever hope to be. Same goes with Spare and all the problems he's had with his daughter Kendall. God alone knows how he kept going... I know I certainly couldn't have. And again, he's more man that I could hope to be. But my point is that you can be emotional about things and still be a hard a$$... that's really the secret of being a man. I think you're doing fine.... (And congrats on the second grandchild)

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
