There is no (parents) just a mother by birth that doesn't keep a hold on reality as far as thinking about the future with what she is doing in the present.
But I did sleep on it, then waited till around 3pm. Got them to come back over. Got the boy away from mommy for a few hrs.
I never hit any child, not this one either. Just some fellowshiping, reviewing the past, explaining the future, giving a little trust with me on his side, then loosening the leash a bit, then snatched the kid up when he checked me, had our talks again, gave a little slack, observed and acted like big brother for a few more hrs, then we did a little more. Showed him death, let him see life moving on, explained to him the right of freedom, asked him to explain trauma, let him see his life as he grew up, then asked him if I accidentally ran over his legs and crippled him if he could understand why he couldn't never become what he wanted , would he be mad or move on with his life? Then I fixed the broken items as he watched. We watched for a while noticing the birds coming back and forth to the fence and their homes, he said to me.... in a choked up voice..... I'm glad you are my uncle and that you let me see everything has a right to live and keeps on trying when they want to live. I am sorry....... An hour later his mother came to get him. I was in the other room. He came up to me and just gave me a big hug and says.....Thanks, I saw Love and actually felt it. I will always remember yesterday and today. I wanna come back soon. I said back to him. We have a lot to learn in life. Even at my age, but as we move forward on the trail we choose, always remember everything we do can affect someone or something that is trying to live to.
