Happy birthday Dad!
Today is My Dad's birthday .... I feel like sharing some random thoughts about himand I. 1. Going to six flags (or and Rock City) and he carried me everywhere and didn't go on any rides cause I wouldn't go. Think I was three or four. 2. His gentle love and admiration for my Mom's mother. 3. He continues to show the love and respect for my mother. 4. If all gay children had him for a father... they would not be ashamed of who they are. They would realize their father (and Mother's) love is unconditional. Think of the end of bullying and suicides just cause they are queer. 5. He put up with AEPi family weekends even though all the jokes against TEP. 6. Surviving teaching me to drive. 7. Teaching me to drive a manual shift car in a weekend and living to tell about it. 8. His gentleness with his parents and especially my grandfather later in life . 9. Showing his children that a man willing to show his love and care for others is a sign of strength.
