I need wisdom to claim my nerves. My son will leave to meet F. after church. He has not seen or heard from F. in over 16 years. My son's grandparents, on both sides, have passed away. F.'s mother passed on New Year's Eve. We had a small memorial service here, since F. did not have anything in Maryland. F. almost talked me into taking him to Maryland. Everyone thought I was crazey to consider it. Begin with, I felt sorry about him having surgery. He did not want my son to come and I would be in the car with him for 7 hours. I had a panic attack and the few times since, after talking with him. My counselor told me to not speak with him.
I was crazy to meet F. F. had things for my son and me. F.'s father was in War World II and the Korean War. F. sent some of military service back with me.
My son's friend works for Senator DeMint. He is going to Gaffney to get F. to sign a letter for the Senator to request the medals. F.'s father had 2 Purple Hearts and a lot of other medals.
My son has learned to get wisdom from his friends, who are postive role model.
Sorry, I have to laugh at F.'s comment about his ability to show my son how to be a man. It is really the opposite, what not to be a man.
Well, his two friends will be going with him. I am intrested in their observation of F. F. did not mind them coming. I told my son that it was ok for him to see him just once. We will see F. attitude.
