When I was 9 or 10 years old, my dad took me over to a neighboring farm to help get stuff for the meal. The farmer, Vic, told me to look at all the turkeys and pick one out. I saw a cute one with a silly walk and cried, 'Him!' Before my pointing finger had even dropped to my side, Vic had grabbed the turkey by the neck and slit the animal's throat. Blood and feathers went flying. I had sentenced that turkey to death! Up until then, I didn't know where meat came from—and I've been a vegetarian ever since.

But in the real world, you couldnt really just split a family down the middle, mom on one side, dad the other, with the child equally divided between.

It was what you couldn't see, those tiniest of pieces, that were lost in the severing, and their absence kept everything from being complete.

Just do it, be willing to fail, and at least you gave it a shot. That's echoed for me all through the last few years.
