[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 968456, member: 27856"] Believe me Dave I totally understand your comment. Let me try and help explain somethings - hopefully not sounding defensive because I am with Ted, I have nothing to be ashamed of or defensive about.. Back when my little boy was 10 he was still holding my hand everywhere we went. I LOVED those days of closeness with my son and hand holding and kissing good night was all part of the affection that I had for him and he for me. As he got into those early doouble digit years he sprang up like a corn stalk - almost as tall as me!! I remember catching people looking at me as he and I walked hand in hand in stores and such. I soon stopped holding onto his hand because I thought people were getting the wrong impression. After that I never got it back with my only son! I allowed other peoples opinions steal something very precious from my child and I. FOr a long time I would kiss my dad on the lips when I would see him (I am not talking about wet stuff here) and soon that stopped too. Pretty soon I stopped cuddling my little girls in public because child molestation became a huge issue in our country.. Then my life started changing and I actually started thinking about what my behavior was saying to others, especially to my children. If I was afraid to do what is right because others percieve it as wrong is it me or them that have the problem?? So I started taking control of my own life and not really caring what others might think... Now when I see my son I give him a HUGE hug and sometiimes he kisses me on the lips!! My girls all will walk arm and arm with me proudly beside them, rub my bald head and not even give it a second thought. I kiss my dad EVERYTIME I greet him because I LOVE HIM and tomorrow I may not have him!! Young Ted has become a very special friend to me - in a totally innocent and honoring way. He and his wife Connie were at my side during my recent life altering back surgery. Might be hard to understand but Ted and I instantly became best of friends the first time we met. Almost a divine thing if you will. I also kissed Teds very pretty bride Connie just before I kissed him at Camp Chaos because I think the world of her too. Nothing sexual or intimate about it - pure love.. If it were the other I can guarantee that YOung Ted would have torn into myself with just cause because he is a real man and he aint afraid to protect what is his!!! At any rate, I treat Ted like he is my dad/brother and dearest friend. The kind of friend that you only get a couple of in a life time, if that! I am very thankful that this subject is here because it shows that as a family our "group" is growing in depth as well as numbers. Just goes to show that there is more to a man then motorcycles and chasing women. Stick around guys, you may even catch each other crying or something (I actually did have a tear in my eye when that little guy of Mikes held onto that trophy his daddy won at the harescramble at KTMmikes, talk about PRIDE in your Father) ;) Sure makes life worth living from my point of view! Woodsy Man its nice to be back online!!! :aj: [/QUOTE]
