Me, in relation to my son...
Permalink  

I am bored out of my mind this afternoon. I finally figured I would ride my trail bike up to a coffee shop that is a bit further away than the usual one that I go to. My son called, asked if I would be home. I said I was going out as if I had an important place to go. I have a feeling, residue feeling of being drained by my son when for the first year that he got out here. It is a feeling of assault. I have thread feelings going back to my childhood where I was thoroughly assaulted. It is hard to separate everything sometimes. But, I did it quickly and invited my son over. We will go out for coffee. You know, it feels good to treat a son, my son to coffee. If I were not aware of these ‘thread’ feelings, I would have missed out on such a treat for myself. He is coming over to make his car payment also. It sucks that I was ripped off from being a parent, but that is no reason to not live in the moment. After all, that is all we got. I figure that the past is a memory, the moment is reality, and the future is a fantasy.

I wish this site had a chit chat message board, but we don’t. I hope you will not mind me putting up a link to a web page I did about me. It is me at the beautiful park I go to ride my trail bike. The first part is kind tough, maybe, but the ending is what endurance, hope and faith brought me. If you like please Click here.

Hugs & Luv,

Hi Richard,


I really enjoyed the beautiful pictures, and I loved the quote.  I wrote it down, and I will keep it!!


I also love to do trail biking, and I think that you have found a wonderful place to go.  It seems so peaceful, and it must be a very happy place to be!!


I know that you have been through a lot of pain, yet you are still here.  The HP has a plan for you, and that is why you are still here.  Your son needed to get to know his father, and eventhough it is not always easy for either one of you, the HP has a plan.


Have a happy day with your son, and continue to spread the happiness to others.  Thank you for being there,  for being such a kind and caring person.


Luv & Hugs

Hi Richard


 


Nice Bike!!


 


I love mountain biking and being in the woods on my bike.


I really understood the analogy of the tree and of your growth.


I am glad that you were able to have coffee with your son


 


Enjoy the ride!
