So it's my job to be the tentpole. I learned this job from my father. Everyone seems to need for me to keep them up and to never let their worlds seem fragile.
I started to say to my wife today that the burden was a little too heavy right now. My mom has been diagnosed with cancer. I have some sort of something in me that may need surgical investigation. Funds are always an issue. The whole family is stressed about something.
But honestly, it is too much for her too.
Who do I see when it's too much for me and no one can handle it when I break?
What did men do when it wasn't okay to be whiney weaklings like me?
My Dad always says "Drive On"
So I guess I'll just do that. Carry on.
