Talked to my friend tonight. He was scared I might have gone to the cops for what he told me. I think I need to share a little more with him sometime. Anyway, I didn't have to give him advice. He already has written and sent his nephew a letter. He said he hopes his nephew will call but doesn't think he will. He did say he would let me know if anything happens. To Derek: I agree that leaving probably left more scars than staying. You say he shouldn't feel guilty, but he does. To Sprite: Good point...everyone is indeed hurt in some way, and it's how one deals with the pain that proves the integrity of a man. I like your ending: F: There's no way we can know and nothing we can do about it. Do what I do. A: What? F: Don't think aboiut it. I am one to overanalyze, so I enjoyed this. Unfortunately, I think my friend is a little suicidal over this situation and probably can't stop dwelling on this at this time. However, who knows? Nothing I can do...so I won't dwell either, but I'll share this with him the next time I see him. To Lex Kirby: You really didn't seem to respond to the dilema. You asked about my dad...not quite sure why you asked. Anyway, I didn't know my dad for most of my childhood. Fortunately, we had a healing in our relationship shortly before he died. |
