Strawberry Letter 23: Should Dying Grandfather Meet New Grandson?
I have a friend that has been involved with a married man for 5 years. As a result of this relationship a child was born. After the child was born, my girlfriend found out that her married lover’s wife is now 7 months pregnant. The wife knows nothing about the child, which is her husband’s first born.
Needless to say the married lover just found out that his father has cancer. My friend feels as thought her lover should tell his father as well as his mother about their grandson. Her lover has told my girlfriend that his dad is not on his dying bed yet. So, my girl has come up with the idea to send pictures to the grandparents. She feels like her lover is not going to ever tell his parents or anyone else in his other world about his child.
My friends strongly feels as though the grandfather wants to be here long and he needs to know that he has a wonderful healthy grandson. Is she over stepping her boundaries? She said her baby has birth rights . I don’t know what to tell her. I love her dearly.
