Dear Mom and Dad: "I'M COMING HOME" - Gerald R Flurry - April 1971

Gerald R Flurry

The letter was written by a disillusioned young American. He was one of an estimated one million young people who have run away from home and parents. "Dear Mom and Dad: "I have walked with demonstrators, potheads, Hell's Angels, Diggers and...girls with Berkeley-Radcliffe ironed hair. I have drunk the soup of the soup kitchens and painted myself with Day-Glo and thrown bouquets at cops and loved at love-ins. "I have tuned in, turned on, and dropped out, freaked out, grooved, and grokked. Now, a little older and a little wiser, I'm coming home! "I'm coming home because it doesn't add up to a string of beads...Some of it was silly, some of it was phony, a lot of it was SICK! I'm tired of vinyl, bored with grass, up to here with beads and buttons and feathers." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
