    Thank you for sharing this! I had a conversation with my mother a few days ago about pictures & things lost, I said my memories are not lost, nor can they ever be taken from me, so treasure indeed remains in our hearts & memories.

    You are a wonderful writer

    You're once blessed to receive such wise counsel from a friend, and twice blessed to have the wisdom and will to
    put it into practice.
    Thanks for the excellent story!

    Nice article. Next time lose the astrology and quantum physics. The first is make believe, the second not applicable even as a metaphor.

    I didn't see a mention of why his items were auctioned off. It would be no surprise if it were because he failed to pay his storage fees.

    Nice vent to try and justify that you are not just a cold fish that couldn't relate to fatherhood, paternal instincts and matrimony. Time spent with your children while "not" filming has no significance or imbedded memories because thats just not the way you are wired. Being pre occupied with your carreer and your obvious ego has its pitfalls. You cant turn back time now that you are older and wiser.
    Dont make excuses. Just try to make the most of whatever time you spend together with your children and do try to make amends with your ex wife that you created life with. To treat her and refer to her as your daughters mother is revealing as to your inability to embrace
    bi lateral relationships and your inability to truly bond with with fellow mankind.

    The items in question were auctioned off by mistake, not as a result of non-payment of rent on the unit. It happens rarely, I'm told, but it does happen -- as it did in my case.

    In regard to the comment from dablinders, exactly what story did you read? Where on earth do you get from my article any of the items on which you comment? A mind wired such as yours makes me wonder how you can function in a day-to-day life without some type of assistance.
