A little brief history as to how this happened. It is quite funny and the reaction was completely unexpected.
In June of 2008 I was laid off and I’ve been out of work since due to my now ex-wife’s medical condition. She then left with all our belongings and of course all my things. I was forced to move back to Florida and now live with my father, who has not been introduced to Tiffany. My father is a lot like Archie Bunker from All In The Family. So every chance I get to dress, I do.
My father left yesterday to visit family and would be gone the entire weekend. So I took the opportunity to be myself. I showered, got completely dressed and headed out for some fresh air. My neighbors have no idea, I usually get in the car before I open the garage door, and upon arriving home I do these steps in reverse.
After my day of shopping I came home made dinner and just watched some TV and chatted with some friends. Well I fell asleep. At eight this morning and I heard my door bell ringing, I had completely forgotten I was watching my neighbor’s dog for the weekend. But I failed to remember my state of dress. Well I answered the door. My neighbor quickly says, “Good Morning, I’m Elaine from next door, I was supposed to bring Max over this morning” As soon as she said that, I remembered, and completely froze. What felt like an eternity I finally spoke up and said, “They’ll be back in a few minutes you can leave Max here with me.”
A few minutes later my cell phone rings, it was my neighbor calling to tell me that she left Max with the young lady at my house. I completely lost it and started laughing, but I was nervous at the same time. I composed myself and said “Elaine, can you come over for a minute? I am at home” I was nervous but figured she already saw me I may as well tell her. Well she got there and I answered the door and we sat down and over a cup of fresh brewed coffee I told her about Tiffany.
After our chat and my telling her everything, she looks at me and says, “Tiffany it’s a pleasure to meet you, it’s great to have another girl on the block. After I get back, would you like to go shopping with me?” “And don’t worry, it will be our little secret!”
We chatted for another two hours and before she left, she says to me, “If you hadn’t told me I never would have known, maybe you are just meant to be who you are and there is nothing wrong with that.” She gave me a kiss and a hug, whished me a great Christmas and said she would see me on Monday.
I will gladly take this as my Christmas gift!
Sorry this is a little long winded, but I didn’t want to loose the morning’s events by shortening it.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
