Jill and Arizaphale, here’s another story. One day, around that time, we were walking together and I started whistling. He then told me a story about one early morning, when he was a little boy, working with his father, the neighborhood milkman. While they were working, my father whistled, and his father slapped him in the face. When my father asked him why he did that, my grandfather said it was impolite to whistle. When he saw my father was still upset, he told him (or at least that’s what my father told me), “How I wish my father who died in the Holocaust could be here now to slap my face…”

That’s it.

Maybe the moral of the story is that some people will use any excuse to beat up on defenseless people.

Or maybe it means descendants of Holocaust survivors are messed up, and it might take a few more generations.

And it might mean that abused kids will more than likely abuse their own kids. My father never abused me. He hit me here and there and yelled a lot. But I have to constantly be aware, because that non-abuse was not criminal but it was bad enough, and in many ways it defined me. I constantly guard myself, because I might have that virus, you know? It’s insane, isn’t it?

(Sorry, Freeman, for taking over).

"But we'll get together then." Such a touching post. I still like to ride around with my dad, although less now that he's not paying as much attention to what's going on in the road ahead of him. Gypsys last blog post..Clarification

social etiquette on buses is weird, like the unspoken agreement to act like you don’t see someone, even tho you see them daily. Or on the other hand the ones who are your best friend (in their mind) just cuz you ride the bus together.

My son (14) has chosen friends over me & it hurts a little til i put myself in his shoes.

Time goes way too fast. I struggled a lot a year ago, dealing with the realization that Blondie, not yet 16, was going to be leaving home in just a few months. And I still struggle with him being gone. I miss him every day... and struggle every time he accuses me of 'facebook stalking'. But I've found that the touching moments of the past may be over, but the present brings new touching moments. And I can only assume the future will bring even more.

I love the way you write an emotional, heart-rending story, then Dr O'c brings it back to reality. You are a quality couple! SSGs last blog post..Hello peeps
