Audy Murry, as far as I know, never said, “I risked my life but those guys were jerks; maybe it wasn’t worth it” I personally know someone who risked his life for others in war and only once did I hear him said, “They never said ‘thanks.”” He didn’t say this in anger or disappointment but in wonder. His body language seemed to say, “They’d be better men; live happier lives if they would notice what was given to them.”
We recognize women give love unconditionally to their children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, husbands and friends.
If there’s little to eat, men and children grab it first and fast.So women give. But the plan is that men grab first so they have the stamina to step between their families and a bullet. Stepping between danger and family is giving.  We grow up, at various ages and broaden our selves and learn to fell thankfulness. My husband learns to save me a few cookies and my daughter takes up MMA.
As I grow up I begin to understand I have a Father and older brother who love and give unconditionally and like my friend wonder at man’s ingratitude.  nancymauerman.com
