LilBit's brother just called, about the school shooting; [View all]
As I've explained, he never made contact since MrsK or Lil passed.
He said, " Koz, I remember when you first met Mom and us. You and I were having a beer on the patio, and just talking, and you told me you were sorry for the country your generation is leaving for me,( Iraq war was going on) Just wanted to thank you. You barely knew us, and could have that conversation. I've been worrying a bit on how to talk to the girls( my grand children.) , about the shootings. And this conversation popped in my head. I have a few years before I have to talk to them, but I have a template to go by. So, Thanks"
I said, "You're Welcome.
, wait until the birds bees talk comes, but I can't help, you were 18 when I met yall,"
He just laughed, " it's good to hear your voice, can I call once in a while?"
I said ok, of course.
Generations pass, there is always some problem, to talk to our children about. And he is 42 now.
Might take years for them to understand, it's just our job as parents, to plant the seeds.
Humble Koz today.
