It broke his heart

I never knew it meant so much to him. My grandson spent the night and as we were talking I told him they were removing the toilet off of my web site. He cried so hard and hugged me so tight. His tears were steadily flowing down my arm. He said no grandma don't let them take your toilet its yours, its all of ours. I tried to explain that in almost eight years I had not sold not even one book or not even a t-shirt and the new web guy said with the toilet no one takes me seriously. He said we couldn't let them just take it that it was what JUST FLUSH IT was all about to help people FLUSH AWAY their problems. Every holiday for eight years my kids and grandkids buy me a new toilet for my collection. I told him they could still by them because I still collected them but I had to take it off to see if it made a difference. Watching him cry so hard made me cry too. I never put anything before my families happiness but if I could make JUST FLUSH IT a phrase known in households across the World then we could all quit work and spend more time together. He didn't care he said they had already made me take off the pictures of toilets on the books and he wasn't going to let them take it. He is only eight years old and I tried to explain to him that I had agreed to take it off. Just weeks before he was born I sent my first book to be published and because I joked with his parents to name him Billy Bob, at the last moment before sending to get books made, I decided to use the pen name of Billie Bob. I never realized that he considered the toilet as his too and that the toilets were so important to him. He is my biggest fan. My heart is breaking as I know I have to for the chance at ever selling anything. When things happen in my family they tell me write a blog about that grandma. They love to hear blogs all about them. My blogging and books have been therapeutic for me and I know they can help others find Peace of mind too. But they can't help anyone if they never hear about it. This is a very hard decision that I have to make with my mind not my heart.  I hope it is the right decision. I am curious what people really think of the toilet, please comment below to let me know before it is gone.

  1. Well my heart won. I just called the web guy and told him some form of flushing toilet had to remain on New web site, which will be up and running soon.
