Barbara, just felt I needed to respond to your message. In my experiences as a Grandmother I view your Grandmother's response to you differently, although I may be wrong. My personal feelings about you asking about your father are that she saw this as a very precious moment to share with you who your "father" really was. She had probably thought about the day when you found out and saw this as a "moment of honesty" when your father was truely "remembered" for lack of a better word. Wouldn't you have wanted your child to know about you if you had been killed? Certainly your father would want you to know about him...and your Grandmother knew this. She too wanted you to know. My Grandmother often cried when she me...now I know I was a precious reminder of her only son. |

I was 7 when I overheard a conversation no one wanted me to hear. My father was a pilot in WWII and no one had ever told me about him. After a few hours of thinking about what I heard I went to my grandmother who always loved me "no matter what" and I trusted about this man. She closed the door and said "he was my son and he is your real father". She opened a black metal box and took a picture out of my dad. As she showed it to me I saw a tear go down her face. I had hurt my grandmother. Even a kid knows not to ask again after that. Nearly 30 years later, grandma died...the black box was given to me but it was empty. I keep the box hidden even now as if it still held my dads letters and pictures. A few weeks ago, my mom called me and read one of the letters to me over the phone. I can't tell you how wonderful his words were. Oh how those words would have changed my entire life. I was taught a very important lesson...Secrets are hurtful...nothing good comes from them. |
