Talk about reading into Crush...I wrote I got shot at....not shot.
Seems like a small distinction but let me assure you to me ,at the time it was a huge distinction.
As far as hanging out with criminals.I/we were young and I make no apologies for my youth...it is part and parcel of who I am...a child of the 70's who grew up in a neighborhood with way too much drugs and too little parenting.Perhaps growing up differently would have produced a different man and just maybe a less involved father....my experience led me to a beleif that I ,as a father could not be in any way shape or form too involved in my own sons raising...he is honor roll at NYU so all is good.
Glad you weren't hurt and they missed. I grew up in the 70's, college then as well. But I was fortunate enough to avoid that scene, though many around me were into that.
I have raised three children of my own. "Porridge children" I call them...one was too hot, one was too cold, and one was just right.
I was involved with them, from skating lessons to umpiring and coaching Little League. Volunteering at their school, since my job is flexible.
And yeah, one didn't keep straight (too hot) and caused me serious heartache, which I hope no other parent has to ever endure, but I know they do.
All three are doing extremely well now. Two are married, good jobs and futures. A third is unmarried with a good job. Even in this economy.
Each one knows how to use a firearm. How to respect it.
I'll correct my response to rule as well. My apologies for my confusion.
