  1. Hi Kyle,

    I know its been a long time. I am going to try to keep up with all that is going on.

    I recently had a Parent that I grew up with in church that told me how wrong it was to be gay. How could I do such a thing. I just couldnt figure out why she was freaking out on me.

    She asked "How does your dad feel about it?" (my father is a Baptist Preacher) I told her my father loves me no matter what I am or do. That is how it supposed to be.

    Then it happened. She said "I am dealing with this with my daughter". I sat there and took what ever she dished out. I did not take it to heart. She needed to vent and I was the one.

    I did find out from another friend that she threw her daughter out on the streets. As soon as I found out this information. I called my father. I told him the entire story and emailed him the conversation.

    He wrote her an email and I hope it worked. My father told me just to drop it. So I did, but my friend is on face book and I have been posting stories just like this one to my page, hoping she is seeing them.

    Happy Holidays Kyle

  2. Wow, Allen that is quite a story. I'm hoping that you subtle hints will get to her. At risk youth don't have very long before being on the streets leads to destructive coping cycles they can't get away from. Hopefully she will see some sense in the post you put out there and get her child back home.
