Thanks for the explanations. It does help. I have a friend who's son is gay and a long time ago I said something about one of my grandchildren and she said, "I'll never know that joy." It broke my heart into that I could have been so thoughtless! I was devastated. I am more careful now when I go to bore someone to tears about my grandchildren. I consider the people I'm talking to and their feelings. Absolutely! She taught me a valuable lesson!
