I'm in my late sixties. I'm from the generation that this video is talking about where men are supposed to be strong. Yet, I have friends, close friends, a couple that have been friends since my early teens. We know when we're hurt but we don't talk about it unless the hurt person wants to. We're just there for each other. We sit, watch a hockey game, have a beer, talk about work, make fun of each other and we know, deep down, that what we're doing is what we need. It cures the loneliness.
I can't talk my problems away. I have to live them away. All I ask from my friends is for them to be there...nothing more. When I had tough times in my life, they were there, not talking about the tough times, but just there and I appreciate that they were there, more than they could know. I try to do the same for them. Sometimes it feels as if I'm failing but every once in awhile, they do the little things that let you know that they appreciate what you, too.
