I was talking to a very very dear friend of mine whose dad passed away last year, we live quite far so we meet like once in a year or less, but bond is same. Sitting on his porch, we two alone, just sharing random recent experiences, out of nowhere my friend says to me - "Listen Bud, Go back home or atleast some place near to it, i dont want to live you entire life with feeling i live today, that I wish I could have spent more time with my dad". My friend, this guy whom i always though was made of metal and breaths fire and eats iron bars - basically a super tough guy, looked completely broke, as tears swelled into his eyes, he put arm on my shoulder and pointed towards the setting sun and again said - "Go back bud, Go back towards the real sun who shown you the light of this world". I had not words to say to him which could have lessened his grief, but next day, i went to office, spoke to my boss, and now i am going back to city which has branch of our office and very near to my home.

This will probably only make sense to Israelis. It says "they say there was happiness here before I was born". This is referring to kids "disappearing" from Yemenite families and being given to Ashkenazi ones in the early 20th century.

So sad! If that's your marriage -get out. I realize it's symbolic and not literally violent but still.

I think it means that the parents are, in fact, the ones being controlled by the child's wants and needs.

True! Photos of yourself or your family/friends and posting it at some "important" place is more important than looking at (and taking pictures of) the real attraction :-/ So sad!

A little twisted that he envisions his kid a Tyrion Lannister between the legs of a prostitute.

Getting to absorbed in shows that you forget about real life...I'm guilty of that but with books. The worlds there just seem so much more interesting.

Just trying to get back to work after all the meals, the family gatherings. the food prep, the friends visiting, the catching up with people you haven't seen in years, the hours in Synagogue everyday praying, all of the rituals, etc............It is really similar to the Thanksgiving/Christmas/ New Year season for non-Jews. Just so difficult to keep up a rhythm of work going.

When you would just need a little nudge, no one around.. then when you are rock bottom, and so fallen apart, dehumanized, unsalvageable, the mean to barely survive is tossed at you.
