What an inspiring man and so commendable of you to try to help give extra to him.
Just curious did he say there was a reason his son could not work?? Could he have been physically or mentally sick. I just think it is easy to try to sum up a situation . Maybe he told you and said he was just lazy ??
Yes I did check on that and he said he was an alcohol addict and hence not in much senses to take care of his responsibilities. I feel sad for both of them in a way :-(
