I miss you

Its been over 4 months since I held you in my hand ... People ask me how I can stay away for so long. I don't know how I survived this long.

I missed your naming ceremony ...
I missed your first smile ...
I was not there when you rolled over for first time, the second time, the third time ...

Every time I see you, I just wish I could touch you. Hold you. I wish you would smile at me, but I am just a thing that show up on your mother's laptop every weekend.

You are growing up each day, each minute. Your mother tells me that you like being driven around in the car and that you like going to supermarket. She also tells me that you love TV and that you have a smile always ready for grandma.

I miss you and your mom with every beat of my heart. I long to hear the sounds that you make. Each and every kid I see reminds me of you.

Waiting for the day when I can hold you in my hand close and tight.

Downside Of Freedom Of Speech

In one of the most weird news in recent times, a dead soldier's father must pay the organizer who staged an anti-gay protest at his son's funeral.

Waving signs that read "Matt is in Hell" and "America is damned," among others, they protested with the funeral under way. Based in Kansas, Phelps often organizes anti-gay protests outside military funerals saying that the person's death was due to the fact that the United States accepts homosexuality.

United States Of America is supposed to be one of the most developed nations but the constitution provides all sorts of defense for freedom of speech. It is extremely absurd to have staged such an obscene protest completely insensitive to the feelings of the family who lost their son. Fred Phelps then had the audacity to appeal against the ruling of the court and the court took up the case and asked Snyder to pay the protesters.

So much for humanity and justice ...
