Proud father?
 

So tonight my son (19 years old) calls me to tell me a story about his day. He was off from work at Chase Bank and waiting at his other job Ted cafe. While waiting he met an older gentleman (early 80s) in overalls. They struck up a conversation, he informed my son that he just found out he had terminal cancer. The gentleman went and sat down alone. My son being like his father went and set with him so he wouldn't have to eat alone. They visited for over an hour and half, talked about life, girls, love, friends and family. My son picked up the gentleman's dinner tab. This story truly touched him as he was emotionally shaken while telling me this story.

I told him that your becoming a great man. You made me one proud father by your actions today. I Love you, Dad

After he told me everything. I kinda sat back and a few tears rolled down my cheeks thinking about his actions. Nothing's better than seeing your son/daughter do something that makes someone else's day a whole lot brighter.

You raised a good kid there.

Sounds like you raised him right. Good work to you and your son.

Great work.

Let's hope he changes your CP password soon.

:D

Good on the shortgans.

But tell him he's still a punk. And my dog still hates him. :D

Of course. He would expect nothing less.

What your son done was very kind... You have a right to be proud...

I remember meeting your son and daughter probably nine years ago at your place in Edmond.

Good work raising him right. It's good to see when a teenager is a man.

Remember playing football outside your brother's house halftime of Denver kicking our ass?

Nice work. Sometimes we all need someone to just listen.

Good story but kids never tell you the bad stuff they're doing. Nor should they

We need to meet up for a beer sometime this spring. Where are you living now?

I see you're in Lexington. I'm going to guess there are a few people who hate me there. I believe that is a location where prisoners go before transferring somewhere else.

:clap:

Well done Reerun Jr.

Tell him to turn up the difficulty and buy something and talk to people who are miserable assholes. That is when you know you have true character is you can constantly wish the happiness and prosperity to those miserable ****s out there.

The true measure of a man is how he treats people who can do him absolutely no good- Samuel Johnson(although apparently that's debated)

God loved this man through your son's heart today. I am so glad you shared this story, it is such an encouragement to us all and especially for you as his father who is not only proud but even more so seeing the hard work of shepherding his heart all these years coming to fruition(a la the tears of joy you shed as you should have). Well done !!!!

Matt 25:34-40

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

What's your daughter like now?

Excellent

Married, 5 months pregnant, and very fussy.

We know when he does that. Small towns and lots of friends... I have a great super close relationship with my son. We talk alot. He's an adult now so I spend more time offering advice and mentoring than punshing when he's stupid.

Yes we do. It's been too long. The transfer facility is about 10-12 miles as the crow fly's from me. So you should be okay. Lol. I'm between Noble and Lexington in the slaughterville area. But we can meet anywhere for a cold beer!

Good job Reerun

Great story.

I pray that he isn't a Chiefs fan. We always want better for our kids right?? Let him follow a franchise that understands about drafting qb's and winning championships.

I may have to do a remake of Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Chiefs fans!!

Cool !

Great story and good job,I was immediately reminded of this song.
