Sons rule. Thanks for reminding me. I missed this on the goodmenproject.org. What a noble tribute to your boys.

ramzwud scribbled:

Thanks for your piece. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Mother is a great title. The related word IMO, also seldom heard, is 'honor'. Why not expand it, giving us more about the 2 rules and maybe oxytocin too, as a contrast. Have you read Alan Sillitoe's LotLDR?

Helen Winslow, this is excellent

sluns scribbled:

Great piece. As a mother of a son, "model nobility" holds true on so many levels. Congrats on being featured!

THE SHOT SEEN 'ROUND THE WORLD Just got home from the Mother-Son Brunch to discover this featured. Thanks for the home run, Scribd!

rayanda scribbled:

Wow, Helen! Another well-deserved feature of keen insights from a loving mother.

Brian W Porter scribbled:

Featured! Congrats.

SpecialDad scribbled:

How can you generalize like that? I am a single custodial father with 4 boys, okay. I see four distinct individuals. How insulting to see us, the five men in my family as a single blob

duponthumanite replied:

Yes, and your wife would see them as such. Ben, Jacob, Ari and the other one (Luke)?

"Noble" is not a word I hear much anymore, but I love it as a goal. To me it conjures up one who is confident and gracious, so self-reliant they can freely be other-focused. And yes, I love the fact that you can say "This is how it is, but that's ok. Don't whine. Take action. Do this. Model nobility."

TMatlack scribbled:

Helen I love this more every time i read it! Thanks and also for the awesome photo...

Phantomimic scribbled:

I hear you. One of my nieces wore a T-shirt that read "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them". She was in the middle school "boys have coties" phase. Now in high school she finds boys fascinating. I guess it was a phase. As to the role model thing, you are right but how do you deal with the "parents are not cool anymore" phase?
