And I wish a lot of israeli children would die horribly in a nuclear blast! Totally awesome. Glass the bastards.
Why thank you, I'll be sure to pass that kindness along to my 3 daughters, all of whom were born here.

I just spent the day at the zoo with them to celebrate my middle daughter's birthday, who turned 2 just today.

2 years ago today, she was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her shoulders, preventing her from emerging all the way. During that minute when she was stuck there, she was unable to breathe, and once they finally cut the cord and she came out all the way, she continued not breathing. During those interminable seconds, I was comforting my wife that the childbirth ordeal was finally over, while at the same time hiding from her the fact that our daughter wasn't breathing - all the while praying to hear my daughter scream, cry, whimper... any sign of life at all. It took about a minute, but finally I heard a cry and knew she was alive.
Today that same daughter is happy and healthy, no thanks to well-wishers like yourself. Your kind words were so powerful, I don't even feel that Proverbs 26:27 is appropriate.
