Uncle Danny passed away, my mother told me rather unexpectedly I had just seen him about six months before, talking with him after the funeral of a distant relative He seemed in good spirits, talking in an excited and engaging tone just as he always had He was singing the praises of a woman he was dating, making his excitement over this newfound relationship known. “It’s the worst thing in the world to wake up in the morning alone,” he said He spoke of the importance of companionship, an idea that transcends both time and age. He looked to be in good shape, still golfing regularly and living actively Despite his eighty-six years, I detected no signs that this would mark the last time I saw this man with a large yet gentle presence “He was gone before he hit the floor,” a cousin told my father His heart giving out, ensuring that his passage into the next life was presumably rather painless Although this does little to dull the pain experienced by mourning family members and friends alike

One cannot help but ponder the frailty of life in these moments

Here one day, gone the next We know not the hour in which we will pass, our knowledge failing to extend beyond the reality that inevitably, our time will eventually come A sense of urgency should seemingly surround our daily interactions, as we attempt to live a life of meaning with the time we have left; yet sadly, it oftentimes takes moments such as these to come to grips with the fragility of the human experience

I had always liked this gregarious man, although I hardly knew him Our interactions did not extend much beyond the yearly Hannukkah party, a handful of family events and funerals Hence why the minute I heard this unexpected piece of news, my thoughts turned to my father Uncle Danny was greatly revered in my father’s eyes – second only to my great-grandfather, for whom I am named.

Living with children

Q: My 4year-old daughter, when I do something that upsets her, like reprimand her for something, begins to cry and tell me that I don’t love her anymore (She’s actually very obedient and well- comforting conversations you have with her are why her “sensitivity” to your discipline has become more and more of an issue over time In short, she has an audience for her drama, so she puts on bigger and bigger productions wife sister s husband Completely clear? “We don’t share the same blood,” my father says Proving that blood often plays only a minor role in determining the people we choose to love and respect

Dad recounts some of the past advice this man offered him as a young child Apparently, Uncle Danny stressed the importance of “discipline and getting a good education ” My father always says his uncle was far more adept at disciplining him than his own parents, a fact he was grateful for as he grew into adulthood

Regardless of his sound advice, Uncle Danny had a penchant for legendary practical jokes that were apparently related with smiles at his funeral Even at a somber moment as this, the mirth that pervaded his life could not be tamped down

Death can summon a set of complicated emotions previously thought to be adequately explored and resolved Sometimes, grief can be more about what the person symbolized than the essence of the person and the life they led For my father, this man symbolized what could have been He longed for a closer relationship, believing the outcome of his own life would have undergone a dramatic positive shift Whether or not is certainly up for debate; but for my father, it all seemed far too clear to not be true Days later, my father would attend Daniel Levin’s funeral, doing his part to honor the memory of this elusive yet looming figure by serving as a pallbearer Those of us who knew Uncle Danny will miss his ready smile, warmth, intelligence and charm We will remember the light he brought into every room he entered, along with the ever present twinkle in his eyes He was, as they say in Yiddish, a true “mensch ” A real man, greatly respected by all he encountered May he rest in peace

Is there something else I need to be doing?

A: It may be that some children are naturally at the high end of the “sensitive” scale and therefore more thin-skinned than most when it comes to being reprimanded I’m not aware of any research on this issue, but enough parents like yourself have testified to having emotionally-delicate children to convince me that there’s some innate quality at work here Then there’s the bellshaped curve, which predicts that relative to a “sensitivity norm,” a minority of children will be hypersensitive and a somewhat equal minority will be hypo-sensitive Regardless, children – all of them – if given the opportunity, will produce great drama, and it would appear to me that you are certainly giving your daughter the opportunity In the first place, you obviously take your daughter’s operatic outbursts seriously enough to think they warrant equally serious reassurances In my experienced estimation, these

Not that it is her conscious intention, but her drama also serves to distract attention away from her misbehavior and focus it on the rather silly issue of whether or not you truly love her Granted, it’s not silly to her, but little does she know you would give up your seat in a lifeboat for her.

It is axiomatic that if one wants to raise up a child into emotionallysturdy adulthood, one must treat said child as if he or she is, in fact, already emotionally sturdy Children rise (or sink) to expectations Therefore, my advice to you is to stop allowing yourself to become sidetracked by your daughter’s drama The next time you discipline and she begins to cry and claim emotional orphan-hood, simply say, “We’re not having that conversation again ever You misbehaved, I reprimanded you, end of story Now, if you need to cry, you may go to your room until you can get control of yourself ”

Children need equal amounts of love and leadership Love is not your problem You obviously need to begin working on strengthening your leadership muscles
