My son was then and still is, the kindest, most compassionate, earth friendly young man. Sometimes there is a really neat person hiding under all the stuff if someone just takes a chance to look!

laughingheart wrote: That reminds me of my husbands daughter. When I moved to Finland to be married. I had not seen his daughters nor his son yet. His daughters lived with their mother. This was his second marriage and mine too. His youngest daughter was afraid I would not like what she looked like because she had some facial piercings and some wild hair dyings also. Now, I was not use to this kind of sight, because where I came from, I had never seen a tongue piercing, nor an eyebrow piercing, nor a below the lip piercing and a nose piercing before. LOL. But, she did warn her father she was going to wear her piercings and her father told me about them before the wedding, so I would not be too shocked. Needless to say, she was very interesting to look at, but She is a very lovely girl. And I love her very much.

Smiles from Brighteyes ;)

You certanily can't judge people by their appearances.
Just the other day I was reading in the paper about a group of leather clad motor cyclists who had raised thousands of pounds for needy charities.
Thank you for making it a smiley day.
Love and smiles.
Afriendlysmile :)
