what a lovely post myzen and congrats on being such a wonderful father.......i'd like to share something simiar......in this day and age so many men are so into being "macho".......during a visit when i had both my sons with me.now ages 29 and 31.....they both told me that they think i always allowed them to be aware of their "feminine side" and they they are better for that......these two young men are now married and i have been thanked by both of their wives for them being sensitve, caring and very romantic men......
