Years ago, a grandfather wrote a touching letter to his daughter after she kicked his son out of the house for being gay. The letter made such an impression on people that it has reappeared from time to time on social media.
The letter, according to many people, was beautifully written. What this grandfather wanted to convey, and his message is timeless.
His letter first appeared on one of the Facebook pages.
The official explained that the letter was given to him by Chad, a 16-year-old boy who was also mentioned in the letter.In the letter, the grandfather responds to his daughter Kristina, who says that his son is a real “disgrace to the family” and an “abomination.
” She is also surprised that he is gay because no one raised him that way.
Here is the translated letter:
“Dear Christine,
I will not hide from you that you disappoint me as a daughter. You are right that we are a disgrace to the family, but you are very wrong about who exactly this person is.
Expelling Chad from your home simply because he told you he is gay is where the real “abomination” lies. A parent who rejects their child is “unnatural”.
The only reasonable thing I heard you say was that “you did not raise your son to be gay”. Of course not, he was born that way and didn’t want to be like everyone else.
However, you made the choice to be hurtful, petty and stupid. So if we give up the kids, I think I’ll take the opportunity to say goodbye to you. And now I have to raise my beautiful grandson, and unfortunately I don’t have time for a heartless girl.
If you still find your heart, you can call us.”
The identities of the teenager and his grandfather were never revealed, making things difficult. Still, Internet users have been very supportive of the grandfather and his grandson. No wonder this powerful message of understanding, support and hope went viral!
