Notes: This actually happened. It was an eye opener to me and for me. It was the best thing that could have happened. It was humbling and enlightening and yes, I did apologize and yes, my son was right. I not only apologized but I tried and try to be myself where ever I am and with whom ever I am with now. I never want him or anyone else to have to walk away again. I found out that what I told him was true it is best to be yourself - and I have found out over the years that what I have tried to teach him I have had to live - and usually a child can make humble pie mighty tasty.
