    What a wonderful experience; thank you for sharing it. The way it worked is the way I have dreamed of having similar situations work for me. This was inspiring.
    warmly, Linnea

    Wow, Suze, you had me "puckering" (and I don't mean my lips! ) for sure!

    As everything always does, when you keep your head up, everything turns out fine. I'm so glad that it did with you. So, now what?

    Kathi I am glad you asked. Alex and I chatted again on the phone tonight after I finally made it into San Diego. It is amazing. Its like its 1984. Hey stop figuring age! And we are 18 again. I have not laughed this much in years. Although, he also caused me to break down in tears when he told me that he thinks his Mom was looking down from heaven and helped him recognize me because she knew how much he needed a friend at that moment.

    What next. Well silly, thats easy. A little vacation time and a trip in the not too distant future to Colorado to spend time with one of my bestest friends in the whole world and his hubby.

    Girls thank you for all your wonderful replies. I have to admit, you all are making my head swell about my writting skills. Where were you all when Mrs. Griner was giving me a C in English?

    Thank you for the share

    First of all, I am so happy that this almost crisis/reunion turned out so well for you! The story shows you have exceptional talent writing. Isn't the fear of being outed with all of us, as we venture out? It certainly is an exhilirating fear, but none the less, a fear that comes to be changes everything, or can.
    I am thrilled that this encounter turned out so well for you. I think you will have a lot of fun in Colorado!!

    Suzanne, I suppose it has all been said here, but I just had to add my voice to this. We hear about so many sad things here and I suppose some of us have come to expect them, so when your story resolved as it has, I cannot tell you how happy it made me feel for you and for Alex. Yes, his mother was helping out as mother's do, and I suspect that she knew that you needed this as much as he.

    I hope you will make the most out of this new opportunity with Alex and with others in your life from whom youi may shy.

    May God continue to bless you

    Suzanne, if Mrs. Griner could have read this you would have gotten an A+, Maybe she never got to see you write about something so close to your heart! A great story well told, and I also loved the ending.

    I had a laugh at the these real moments of life. And the last comment, one that I'm familiar with lately is the one about "How many friendships did I not have because my fear of being found out was so great that I removed myself from living life?" Only to replace it with an act...Carol

    I want to thank you, I was having an extremely bad day today, I was dealing with taxes and having to sue the federal govt over money they took they werent entitled to that caused me to lose my house amoungst other things 3 years or so ago, so ya really bad day, Tobie my spouse had commented I was REALLY REALLY out of sorts,

    Throughout this, I've had your post open since last night, and tried to read it but got distracted multiple times and only just now got to read it fully,

    The people above werent the only ones to Cry, but they were tears of joy, that had to be the most heartwarming story I've read in six months or more easy, you REALLY REALLY changed my mindset today, so THANK YOU,

    And you better call him , and renew that friendship, but I just wanted to personally thank you for turning my mood around today, it just eally warmed my heart,

    You mentioned, "... he and his husband..." - so your friend is gay?

    He disappeared right after high school because he was wrestling with his sexuality and didn't want anyone to know. We spent a long time on the phone last night discussing what hiding from who we really are has cost us.

    Which lends itself to Carrol's point...

    It's 4o'clock in the morning here on the east coast ....Couldn't sleep so I figured I'd check in with the girls and came across your wonderful story. I actually felt like I was occupying one of the seats in the aircraft watching it all unfold .... I deeply enjoyed your writing ...very smooth and entertaining

    Don't you have to call this a cosmic karma event...you are enfemme and meet a past friend who is "gay" and married at that...KARMA that you now get to share in his grief for a loved one that meant something also to you and a connection to your past....dont lose touch now

    Man, that's some scary shit, to hear those words in public. I've gone out dressed up a couple of times in public. I went out on Halloween night in public for the first time, figuring that was the least risky night of the year for me. I was scared to death of someone recognizing me, but no one ever did. I walked through a casino, pumped gas....it was a nice night! I don't care if someone I know would be fine with it, I totally prefer me being the only one who knows!
