We live in grief for having left the womb for having left the teat then school then home. In my case it was leaving marriages and the death of my wife.
Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage don't move to California.
Even though people may be well known they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth marriage and death.
Marriage is the death of hope.
I highly suggest marriage to all my friends who are dating.
I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it.
I always say now that I'm in my blonde years. Because since the end of my marriage all of my girlfriends have been blonde.
My mom and my dad were married 56 years and the fact that I reconciled with my dad I think made their marriage a little bit better as well.
The only day I remember of my parents' marriage was the day my dad walked out. As I stood there at five years old with my older sister and younger brother I knew that he was gone.
Nobody ever asks a father how he manages to combine marriage and a career.
