Better late than never

Good evening blogger friends I hope the sun is shining wherever you find yourself? It is in my world, both in the sky and figuratively speaking - I so love days like today. It's been a wonderful day weather-wise, blue skies and warm spring sunshine; and to top off a perfect day, my parents visited as promised. How did it go, the first visit since my outing? It went beautifully.

As with everybody else I have come out to, I have been treated just the same; in fact I think I get on better with my parents now as a result. Before, I was always somewhat hesitant around them, it was always in the back of mind, holding me back some; stunting conversations and my behaviour. Today, I was just me from the start, open, confident and forthcoming; it made me relaxed and carefree, there was nothing left to trouble my mind or hold me back. My parents were just so cool with it too, it was brought up in conversation and we talked about it like it was normal - which it is for me; but I'm glad they realise and appreciate that too. 

We all went shopping in Stockport, I bought a new pair of trainers, went halves on a new pair of trainers with my stepdad for my Mum and my stepdad bought a new pair too; JD Sports certainly had their share of my money today. My Mums trainers are the coolest ever, a pair of Adidas Stan Smith - I'd have bought the same pair if they did them in Men's sizes. In fact my stepdad's were kind of cool too, a pair of K-Swiss; for a mature age they both still rock, long may they rock - bless them both. 

We laughed, joked, spent money and smiled; a day that could not have been any better. My Mum was even joking about my sexuality and it was very funny. We were sat having a coffee outside at Frescos and my Mum could not light her cigarette in the breeze; I took the cigarette and lit it myself for her and handed it her back. My Mum then says I won't catch anything from it now it's been in your mouth; proper funny - made us all laugh so. I told her I'll see her at the STD clinic Monday morning, which I thought was perhaps taking the joke too far, but I got a laugh out of that too. 

She asked when I last saw my boyfriend; last night I replied, which brought another funny reply - perhaps not meant so this time. My Mum asked did you send him home afterwards? I was dying to ask after what, but I didn't I knew exactly what she meant; Mothers' intuition I guess - she knows I'm a man-whore without me having to say it. I simply replied no, he stayed the night and went home this morning. My Brother now knows I'm gay too, he reckons he knew a long time ago, whether he truly did is immaterial because it's true anyway. 

A wonderful day spent in the best possible way that could not have turned out any better. Hindsight is a wonderful thing boys and girls but I just so wish I had come out so much sooner to my parents; whatever stopped me from doing so was just pure nonsense. Still, it's better late than never...............

Love you folks xxxxxx.
