I called my parents today, they live about 3 hours away. Mom and I did the usual chit-chat, then I just kinda came out with it. Having a brother that also CDs, I didn't know if she'd really want to know about another. She did say that I guess we can forget about you ever getting married. I told her I like women very much, and there are women who are OK with it. I said she could see a picture if she wanted, probably shouldn't have said that. Of course she didn't want to. I'll take a couple next time I visit anyways in case she changes her mind. I didn't tell my Dad, not that he would be mad or anything, he just doesn't need to know I think. He is a wonderful Dad.
Maybe when it sinks in a bit Mom will be OK... I did tell her I loved her, I have trouble saying that, don't know why.
Also sent a pic to one of my best friends who moved a few states away several years ago, with the message, "Guess who this is". After guessing it was my brother, I said guess again, he said I don't know. I said, It's me! Surprise! So far all I got back was, this requires an explanation. So I gave him the short version.
So, not many people left to tell about me!
