I was working on the blog this morning I was going through drafts and I came across this picture of Aiden and Charlie. As I sat her and looked at the boys and all the things we have done with them. Or all the things Tammy has taken the boys to do. So it is with a sad heart that I have to talk to Tammy this week and let her know Charlie has decided he doesn’t want to be around Aiden anymore.
Because Charlie and Aiden were more like brothers than friends but Aiden sided with the other kids in the neighborhood and was calling Charlie “GAY’ and making fun of him. Charlie asked them all to stop and they wouldn’t. This brought up all the negative feelings I have worked to erase in Charlies mind. Because this is what lead to him wanting to kill himself a couple years ago. And before you say “kids will be kids” and leave it alone they will be friends tomorrow.
I can’t take the chance as Charlie has tried to kill himself one time and if I leave it alone he could try again and what if he succeeds? Or I don’t say anything and they keep it up and the kids in school pick up on it? It would cause Charlie to not want to go to school and we have worked so hard this past year to teach him school is a safe place. So even though I love Aiden like a son if he is going to do things like this I have to cut him out of our lives.
Today I would like to ask you to “PRAY” for both Aiden and Charlie as well as Tammy, David and I as this will affect each of us. As we are all friends and with Tammy being a single mom she depends on our help in watching Aiden as well as taking him places she isn’t able to take him to. Or even having us pick Aiden up from school when she can’t get off. David is a father figure to Aiden as well as his own dad is in and out of the picture.
So once again Please Pray for us as I place this in “GODS” hands as I would hate for Charlie to lose the best friend he has ever had.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
