I found this one over at Weighing In Without the Cookies. It is a post card sent into Post Secret and it makes me want to cry for some reason.

That's just not right.
I don't know if it is supposed to be a joke, but I'm not laughing. Too many people actually feel that way, with no justification.
That is so sad! How can a parent ever feel that way? It's just beyond me! ~Leslie
That is sad and awful.
I've been looking at that one for that past few days, and it never fails to make me sad.
that is sad.
I know that mom was just trying to be honest, but how sad is it that she feels that way.
I hope her son has lots of great gay friends that love him.
Real mothers--who UNDERSTAND mothering--wouldn't feel that way. They'd just love and embrace the kid for ALL of his differences and nuances.
Makes me sad too. There's nothing my kids could EVER do to make my love recede....
It is nice to hear that C4u. It seems like so many parents today are more interested in their children as accessories than as people. I'm glad you aren't one of them.
xo, Vinnie. I'm truly not...my oldest son, a very imaginative, chess-playing, TaeKwonDo'ing, Cub Scoutin' gorgeous 6 year old announced at 4 yrs.: "I'm marrying Evan when I grow up." Evan is my best friend's son...his best friend.
The comment stemmed from his sweet innocent love for his best friend. At the time, however, a number of girlfriends/guy friends reacted with, "You'd better work on that kid!"
Now, mind you, I've got some great, kind-hearted, loving friends, but remember this is the Bible Belt, Southern Baptist state of TX. I responded wholeheartedly, nonetheless, "You know what? It may just be that my Son would like to bring home a Boyfriend at Thanksgiving someday. I love that child, and I'll love whomever the great person is that he picks to share with us."
I DO mean it. I couldn't love him any less than that. =)
And I hope that that kid knows just how lucky he is to have a Mom like you! Damn that post brought a tear to my eye and now I hope you don't mind, but I am going to post that on my blog as an entry.
Go right ahead. I meant it, for anyone you'd like to share it with....xo
Ouch.
What a terrible, horrible thing.
What a miserable parent.
Very sad.
That reminds me of one of the saddest things I ever saw. The gay bar my brother worked at on Christmas night. So many "familyless" guys who were rejected and alone because they came out to the very people who promised to love them...no matter what. Guess they should have added that caudicile... till you tell me you're gay. My neice is gay, my brother is gay. They are members of my family, and I love them both... period.
Thanks again C4U for sharing your story of your son. He's so lucky.
Vinnie, does your mom know how lucky she is?? =-)
Sure she knows. . .I tell her all the time. Plus she HAS to be nice since I am the one picking out the nursing home. If she isn't cafeful it is off to Shady Pines.
That made me feel like crying too. That is so sad. But some people are like that - they think that being gay is like being disabled or something. It's so stupid.
