So last night, I had over for dinner, one of my DD's girlfriend's and her boy friend. I would never bring this point up, but I feel I need to because of some of the hardships that DD's girlfriend, AND b/f have been going through. She is white, he is not. I cannot believe in this day, and age that we (as a community, country) still fight this battle.
I KNOW that DD's g/f is having a rough time with all of the bigotry. I REALLY don't even get it. Not in this day. Sadly it is still here. REALLY?! REALLY?!
So, I had invited DD's friend over for dinner, including her b/f. The main reason is because I love them, and care about them. The other motive, was to encourage the b/f (who works at Mc Donalds) not to be ashamed, or discouraged in his job. How? You ask?
I must say first, that anyone who has a job anywhere...GOOD FOR YOU!! Never be ashamed of what you do, as long as you are working.
I will tell you. My husband, my awesome hubby, at the same age as the girl's b/f actually lived in his car for a bit. He also flopped on a friend's couch now, and then. He is now a CIO.
I too have had to lean on my friends in the past. Sadly, I was much older. I so appreciated the help.
Anyhow, the point of the dinner....aside from good food, was to encourage the girl's b/f, and let him know Mc Donnalds is ok. God Bless him for working and having a job. God bless him for trying to move forward.
I don't think he has EVER had a whole lot of support in the past. He needs to know that he is JUST fine.
I KNOW these kids will do AMAZING things!
I guess this is all very important to me! I have a voice, I have a blog. I have a platform to say what I think, and feel.
If just one person reads this, my job is done!
