I was talking to my son one day about 15 years ago when he was in the 8th grade:
Son: "I'm meeting some friends after school."
Me: "Anybody I know?"
Son: mentioned a few names
Me "is *** **** from Viet Nam"
Son "Yes"
Me "Did you tell her I was in Viet Nam?"
Son "No"
Me: "Did you think that it might effect your friendship?"
Yes "uh, uh, yes"
My son is a terrific young man and ment no harm, he just gave me an honest answer.
But it broke my heart...
Just re-read this thread.. rmedgar. Fix that broken heart NOW!!! You have nothing to be ashamed of. We're proud of you and your son should be also.
Totally missed the part when this happened 15 yrs ago. I erased a lot.
By the way rmedgar, THANKS!!!
