<< < (2/3) > >>

Hi,G.driggs

It seem most of us when we were at that age felt this hurt.

This is like losing a Job that we had for a long time,than we lost it some how.

So as days go by ,we start doubting ourselves ,and thinking , we can't do anything.

 Here are some things you can do is get his mind off this, hopeless mind set, join a gym, do karate,sky driving,in a group setting,so he can have a" I can do attitude".

 Good luck and best wishes  for  your 14yr old cousin Tony.

Walt.

Some great advice there George.

I spent several years counseling youth.
I once heard the elder sister of such a boy, pronounce," If you love her that much, why do you want to dump a lifetime of guilt on her?"

Today he's happily married with boys of his own.

Just a thought.

Excellent!

Great stuff here from all, have to give a "thumbs up" to everyone who responded... but I especially liked the quote from the Grapehound's experience.

What exactly is a "Grapehound" by the way? I once owned a dog (pit bull) who loved grapes (not kidding) and as I ate from the bunch he would patiently wait for me to toss some his way, he never missed.

Love and miss that crazy canine...

Please understand I am not comparing you to a dog in any way Grape but your screen name always reminds me of ol' Jake.

Peace,

Joe

 

grapehound:
Lol Joe !  No offence taken.

Grapehound is a character from one of my stories; a man after truth.viz:

If Jesus is the Vine, and we are the branches; and the branches bear fruit?
Well they oughta be grapes!
That's what he's searching for;  the fruit of the vine.

It's from a screenplay, "Sons of Thunder".
I hope to 'put it to bed' this year. Three years is long enough!

Love & Blessings

Grape !

ps. I can't trust a man that doesn't like kids or dogs!
     

grapehound:
Luv ya right back Janine!

Thanks for those sweet words.

Love and Peace, Dear heart.
