Browsing the Craigslist Missed Connections
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.” ― Andre Gide Sometimes I browse the Craigslist missed connections section to see if someone out there saw me, found me incredibly attractive, and thought about me so much they had to go online and see if they could locate me. I held importance in that person’s life, however brief it may have been, and they took the unlikely chance to meet me. For a moment in time, I was wanted.

5 Things Driving Me Crazy After 15 Years of Marriage

I wouldn't say I disagree with this symbolic object, however, I would say I am more likely to use said crystal to throw at my partner's head.

The Crack in the Door
Friday nights are my favorite because my granddaughters come to stay the night. They love playing games with me and I am old but not too old for them. I never will be, I would do anything for them. I cook for them almost as much as my wife does. She’s an angel on earth but I don’t say that out loud, it’s not what men are expected to do. We are expected to provide and protect and I have done that for several decades, through all of my kids lives. I used to drink but God changed that. I am a better man because of Christ. I am a hard worker and I used to show my anger with my large, tough hands. But even that was love, or I thought it was. I thought I was teaching them how to behave. I was wrong. Now I work with the same hands to provide, to cook, the play hide and seek with grandkids. To cut wood for fire to keep them warm. And sometimes, when no one is looking, bring my wife a coffee and tuck her in with a blanket. Because she really is an angel and even a tough old man like me can show her gentleness sometimes.
