Well, I wish you all wouldn't have created this thread. I read it for the first time today and I have actually got tears in me eyes even as I type. Gheesh, thanks all for tuggin' at my heart strings. See, I guess a man can be sensitive after all. lol. When I first saw the topic I figured I could insert a sarcastic remark and be my funny little self as I always do. But reading through the thread, I see that would negate the threads existence in, and of, itself. I realize that I would have to come up with something heartfelt and meaningful as to honor the thread, and quite frankly, I am at a loss for words. (bet you never saw that coming)
So the best I can do is to wish that The Creator had never allowed mankind to feel hurt, to feel loss, to feel pain, tears, sadness, depression, heartbreak, dissapointment, or grief. But that would not be a good wish, for if you would have never experienced such, you would not know:
The joy of seeing an old friend or family member that you had not seen for years.
The pride of seeing your daughter coming home from school, beaming from ear to ear, carrying her first report card in her hand.
The astonishment felt when someone you love who had been told they have 6 months to live, is now completely cancer free.
The feeling of such a burden being lifted off of your shoulders when you go through a hard time and can't see the light of day due to the black cloud hanging over you, all ends just as quickly as it began.
So, so much more there is to describe, but the meaning is this....without experiencing one tough or bad emotion, there is no way you could completely describe how a better emotion completely on the other end of the spectrum is really like.
Last but not least, for those who have lost someone, the greatest feeling is in that knowing, one day, those that you miss so desperately, you will be able to again see.
At least that's what I feel. It is my conviction.
Now I am going to go to a joke thread, I am tired of this tear jerker stuff.
