Where it belongs

I was working today but regardless of the fact I had a great day; my folks came to visit me at work and we spent the best part of five hours together. I'm kind of blessed in the job I do, it allows me to do such, to be flexible and to spend the time both working and walking around with my folks. Not that they call that often but when they do it's always good to see them and spend time with them; we had lunch together, went shopping, my Mum did some Christmas shopping and we had a coffee together.

It was time well spent, time spent catching up, chatting, smiling and laughing; I love my folks they're real good, honest, hard working and simple living people - in my opinion the best kind of people this world has to offer. I hope my upbringing has given me those attributes, I try my best to follow their lead and treat everyone with dignity and respect, sometimes it's difficult admittedly but I do try; if for no one else then for my folks, it's a reflection of the care and love they've shown and instilled in me. My boyfriend (who's sat next to me reading this as I type) says it's true, I am that kind of guy and my folks should be real proud of me and of themselves for it. Bless you babes, that's a beautiful thing to say and thanks for the kiss; I love you too xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox.

As a result of my folks visit my baby finally got the last of the gifts I bought him from my holiday, he's had to wait three weeks for it - three weeks I've been back since my holiday, it seems like an eternity. We were in a gift shop in Salobrena and I saw some key rings on a stand, as I span the stand around, well the ones I eventually ended up buying just presented themselves proudly right in front of my face - it's the way I like them funnily enough! Anyway they made me laugh and as soon as I saw them I thought of my boyfriend, for reasons that will become obvious, and I couldn't resist, so I bought two of them - one for me and one for my baby. My folks were with me at the time and although they raised some concerns over my purchases they weren't really surprised, I guess they know what I'm like in more ways than just my sexuality! Whilst we were in there my Mum bought a cat keyring and that's where the problem began..........

Somehow our purchases got mixed up and upon our return home from holiday I got a phone call from my Mum asking me if I'd given my boyfriend his presents yet? A strange question I thought but I went along with it - no, I've not Mum; well don't give him the keyring because he might not be impressed. I had the cat keyring and my Mum, well up until today she was taking care of my boyfriends............

At least now it's right back where it belongs................
