i reached out tonight....told my jw wife i was going to a friends house to watch a basketball game....which was true...but also told her that the invite came from a kid who loves me and his dad is df'd....the invite was really from the dad, but the kid did want to see me...poor kid still has to go to meetings when he is with the jw wife btw...i love this kid and always have...
so anyhoo........his new wife...jewish btw...was totally informed on my situation...and so .......crap i can not think of the word...but she understands pretty well the weird marrige i have now that i am out and my wife in still a jw......she gets the shunning thing of course...since her jw inlaws are absent of their life.....
and this kid i love...since he was was born.... has always had some probems ..he is only ten now.......and is A.D.D times ten....his attention span was just god awful but he is now better..ya..on meds a bit....but back when he was little...and i helped his parents out by keeping him during the meetings...he would just frikkin wear them out!.....i learned that i had to put more and more items in my suit coat pockets to keep him busy as he sat in my lap...i mean they were frikkin loaded up with gadgets...toys...candy....tietacs..leggos...paperclips....ANYTHING that would keep him busy......
so now......after 7 or 8 years of this kid being out of our congo....i am the only one he even remembers......really...the only one i found out tonight........i am the only one who who has stayed in touch because i did not shun his dad...or even his mom who ran off with another guy.................this is a great kid who does not deserve the loss of all the other friends he should have had growing up.............pathetic...............oompa
oh...and i reached out...not by seeing the kid...but by having an evening with a dfd friend despite my jw wife...and btw...she likes this kid too...but will not visit....
