It's cool. Sad, sad story. I think that the end of childhood though, does not automatically shunt us into "being a man." I understand that it is a loaded word, like "love" that means many things to many people, but being a man is a complex thing. I certainly don't envy what girls go through to become women though.

sure, that's certainily true. But kill your dog, hold him in your lap and comfort your sister. These things are pretty grown-up. But I don't think I'll ever feel like a grown up or a "man" completely. I often feel like a kid still, but then there are times when I very much feel like a "man". They tend to revolve around providing for my family, being a father, taking care of my wife etc. cliche, I know.

Alright. I'm off to bed. Have a good one Rico.
