Ana, I am glad you posted that. I didn't want to make any of the guys feel badly and I do believe the original statement is true, but I don't believe, from experience, that it is as simple as that.

A person can love someone until it hurts and still not be able to be around them, live with them, or raise children with them. Remeber that 60's/70's song, "I love you too much to ever start liking you, And that's the way the story goes"?

I would like to add that sometimes the best thing any parent can do for their children is love them enough to know that parents, living apart, can be the best thing for all concerned.

You guys on here are, I believe, the exception and I believe that because of your connection with music and the way you allow it to shape your souls, spirits, and hearts. You are not afraid to express your feelings, to wear your hearts on your sleeve and admit to having a good cry. Your honesty is rare. And, I know there aren't enough of you to round!*BG*

So start recruiting more men and young men and boys to folk music and teach them all you know, pass that honesty, love, and openness of emotions on, as I am sure Liam, and the rest of you who have sons, have done. (And, of course, that goes for daughters, too!)
