I don't cry because my testicles are huge and I am all man. If they were to name anything after my manliness it would be Tom Sellecks mustache. Because it's so manly.

But this almost got me recently.

That was powerful--and brought back some difficult memories.

Twelve years ago my mother was faced with a similar decision and chose to do what this man did. It was hard for everyone concerned, but I respected her for it. It was, after all, her life and no one else's.

Do the objects involved not matter, as long as the bond is real? As long as there's something to project our own lives over? Is Wilson someone's grandma in one person's life, maybe a father in another person's? You could look at the clips I offered and just claim I have some daddy issues, which is true. Early divorce and weekend visitations every other week didn't exactly instill a fatherly figure in my childhood, so I can connect with the Will Smith one personally.

This is really high quality topic! All videos would make me cry! but the second one was special! maybe because it reminds me with the prettiest period of my life which I really miss right now.. where all my family was around me, father, mother, brothers, and sisters!
