Kathy,
Glad to hear the house is coming along now. Not long and you'll be sipping
a cup in your new kitchen/dining room. Hang in there you are on the home
stretch. Regarding the squeaky wheel. I think Chris is challenging you to
a squeak off. And in his mind he is winning. Perhaps it is a guy thing, but
I tend to agree with Phil's assessment on meeting a physical challenge
where necessary. I have to say I was not real comfortable reading Chris's
behavior regarding beating up a quote, blind lady. This is his mother he is
talking to and plainly shows the lack of respect for the position or honor
that goes with it. Perhaps he is challenging Greg in a way he knows would
get to him? Threatening his wife? Only once did I feel it necessary to
remind my son that although he is mouthing off and etc. to his mother, he
best remember that woman who is his mother is also my wife and we'll have
business to do as men if he ever has a mind to threaten that area.
Meanwhile above all I upheld and stressed honor, trust and ability to trust
each other as family is more important than anything for if you didn't have
that, what is family then but equal to trusting a stranger with our hearts
and intimate details of life.
