What Would You Do?

I have to get this off my chest.

I know personal events in my life is not why you come to this

Blog

to read.

But,

if I have a thought on a subject,

it stays with me until I can express it in some way.

Maybe my

Blog

is part therapeutic for me in that way.

On my way back from vacation I stopped at a friend's house in

Arizona

to say hello to him

and his wife

and take a little break from the tedious drive.

I was with my son

and grandson.

My grandson was getting over the flu

and I didn't want them to get affected from him so he stayed in the car.

My son went inside the couple's home with me

and we began to talk.

I introduced my son to the couple stating that;

"He is my oldest living friend. He has seen me at my worst and at my very best."

Which I was hoping came across as,

this person has been my friend through

Thick Or Thin.

I have known this person for over

48 Years.

Then,

out of nowhere,

he starts in on me about how I committed

Fraud

using his name thirty years ago!

In front of my son.

Of course I denied the accusations

and wondered where this was coming from.

If you have a beef with me why wait thirty years to confront me?

The worst part,

why do it in front of my son trying to make me look like a jerk.

No matter what I said I could tell by his self righteous attitude,

the condescending looks he was giving me,

and the sarcasm in his words,

that he believed I was the culprit behind the fraud.

First,

I would never do that to any friend,

and second,

I don't think like a criminal so I wouldn't even know how to commit that kind of fraud.

So we left.

My family is the most important dynamics in my life.

I brought up all my kids to be honest,

good people.

I am proud to say I have succeeded in that area.

I never have to worry that the police will come calling accusing one of my kids of criminal activity.

So,

adios to my one time friend.

This is,

Asking What Would You Do?

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
