I have this same dilema with my mother. She wants so badly to tell my aunt so that she has someone to talk to, but I won't let her. And I won't let her only because my aunt will tell everyone she knows and then my grandfather will find out and I truly believe it would kill him, literally. He's pretty open-minded, but he's not in the best of health and I know that he would be devastated by news like that, so I have made the decision not to tell him ever. I told my mother she could tell people but choose wisely who she talks to. If I wasn't so worried about my grandfather I'd of told everyone myself by now, I'm not ashamed of who I am or who I have become, and someday my whole family will know about and know Lindsay, but that day is far away and to be honest I hope it never comes because I know it will be a day when I can't walk up to my grandfather and say hi without talking to a stone.
