(4,204 posts)Without a doubt, one of the kindest men I've ever met in my 66 years is this man, A Cruz, voted for the Republicans' choice for POTUS.
His daughter, the mother of my grandson, was married to my son 15 years ago for two years. They divorced 13 years ago.
After their divorce, my son went to prison, and this man insisted and actually took my grandson to see my son regularly. For four years.
When my son was out for two years, stable and living with my daughter who was named 'Law Enforcement Officer of the Year' for 2016, by the Sheriff Office in Lubbock TX, Cruz strongly suggested that grandson live with them...and he has been for 6 months now.
I just spent two nights at the Cruz's home. After feeding me AND my daughter (grandson's aunt), we came back with homemade quilts.
Thank goddess that my son's former wife supported Obama, loud and clear, as does my 14 year old grandson, but her father remains a staunch R's choice for POTUS supporter....
So hard to understand...so hard.
He was the Navy recruiter for parts of the West main guy. I want to mention remarks about POW's and the mocking of the disabled and remind him (he never actually forgets) that my late husband lost both legs in Viet Nam ...
I've had a really hard time over the past few years...my daughter has had to shut me up (and take me to the other room momentarily) to keep the peace when we all went to her, my son and grandson's house over Christmas.
