Sorry to hear about your lost, and I pray that you have someone to walk with you thru this trying time.
I also want to give props to everyone who have replied so far, so respectful. I think this is really going to help him get thru this. It also shows that, and I am not sure that all the responses have come from Black Men, but, it shows that there are, we are, still some caring, educate, understanding, and respectful people. I am not going to write a book here, but after reading these post, it makes me think of that song, "UM Proud To Be Black!"
BGOL, I just want to say, thanks for keeping it serious with him, and not clowning. God Bless!
