Tonight I had come home early from work, sitting here and my cell rings the alert for voicemail. I pick up the phone and its my adopted dad's mom who I havent seen or heard from in almost 20 years. She isnt doing well and is requesting to see me.
Im a mixture of emotions right now. She doesnt know Im gay, and the last time she saw me she saw me as the "good little Baptist girl" Im so far from that now. I am me, and I am gay. I know she is unaccepting. As are the other members of my adopted family. I want to see her. I miss her. And I know she is dying.
So Im gonna put my big boy boots on, take my ass up there and screw off what anyone else thinks and see her. Ive already lost all these years. Im not going to lose any more precious moments. Its about her needs and my closure seeing her. Not anyone else...
