No small feat...this guy brought me to tears:
Welp, I had to block friends on FB I thought I knew fairly well. When I hear the Oct 7 massacre being described as "a bunch of israelis got killed" (basically "so what?"), i have nothing further to talk about. Humanity can't be this side or that. War is not clean, I'm not sure how people expect it to be so.
Remember when I said it was personal?
I just got word from Israel...
4 members of my extended family in Israel are still missing, presumed hostages or already dead but not ID'd yet. Two little boys, a teenage girl, and an aunt are still missing.
2 are confirmed dead. Father and older daughter who fought back.
I didn't know them personally, we've never met or spoken. But they are my family from my fathers side.
...
Word on the street is there's a COSO wedding happening today.
Congratulations to @Ch3fchr1sto and @Keep_Real 🤩

@Blackwolf I took a home covid-19 test this morning negative so far. I have a screaming sore throat all day. I still haven't had covid-19 and am fully vaccinated against it but thinking it's strep throat will call doctor office tomorrow if still hurting.
"How do you spell "Hadd?" I asked.
"H-A-D-D." he said matter-of-factly.
"Interesting, Pa. I'm interested why you didn't wonder about that name, "Hadd". I think it's the relationship you could have had with my mother, but you know what happened and..."
"Yeah I fucked up. Your life could have been much less difficult. I'm sorry."
"It's OK, Pa. It really is." I was choking back tears and I had to go back to work.
"Get some sleep, Pa"
"Have a good day at work. Love you."
"There was a red truck with no one in it but the motor was on and the engine was revving. I try to shut it off but it takes off with me chasing it. This symbolizes my sexual urges that are out of control and I can't find a way to manage it. Then the truck hits a little girl by accident. That's you. You were hurt by what I did to our family. The next scene was me writing a letter of apology to the girl's mother, Mrs. Hadd. Me apologizing for what I've done." He was quiet, waiting for my response
Two weeks before my father passed, I got a lunchtime call from him at work. I was working for a skunkworks project for Navistar Diesel and Ford at the time and loud clanging out in the factory area made it sometimes difficult to hear, but he made sure I could hear this conversation.
"I had a dream that woke me up at 3am last night and couldnt get back to sleep. Thanks to all your Freud-crap, it got me to thinking what the dream meant...."
