As per my “Memo” note on 7:58am, Paw shared his story en route to this morning’s mass.
A son called his father long distance and broke the news. After many years of serving the military, the son asked: “Dad, I’m gay. Do you still love me?”
The father replied: “I love you, son.”

With the recent repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law on September 20, the gays can now serve openly and proudly in the military without question (as to sexual orientation/preferences).

Compared to this story, the UNGRATEFUL boy continues to hide from his OLD family by refusing further communication. It is up to the boy to forgive his elderly father and to stop holding a grudge against this old man who didn’t have guidance on how to raise a family when he had a difficult childhood without his mother and father.
I know we kids (as inherited from our paternal blood-line) don’t like to be wrong. But we are wrong to DISCOUNT our own family and relatives. I hold that Chinese, Lindsey, especially accountable and responsible for further destroying the relationship between the boy and his OLD, Filipino culture.
