My mom just called me to check in.
For our anniversary, my dad called and left the most beautiful message on my answering machine. I stood there, soaking wet, as I had just gotten out of the shower, and listened to him tell both Paul and I how happy he is for us and that he hopes we have a special day together. WOW. I love this man with so much of my heart. I hope he realizes how much it means to me that he called and left this message. My parents are nothing short of wonderful to me.
When I got to work, there was an "E-card" waiting in my inbox. I opened it up and there was this message:
"HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY...WE WISH YOU BOTH MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS..ENJOY THE JOURNEY...WHEN YOU DO IT TOGETHER IT IS ALWAYS BETTER...WE LOVE YOU"
WOW!
I remember when I was much younger, thinking that I could never tell my parents that I was even "questioning" my sexuality, and look at this! They love me so deeply and it shows in everything they do. They don't have to accept my homosexuality, but they accept me and want me to be happy regardless of who I am with or what I am doing with my life. Is it wrong that I consider my parents to be two of my closest friends? They will always be mom and dad, but I love hanging out with them so much that they might as well be my buddies.
Thank you mom and dad. I don't think I could ever come up with the words to express how much your messages meant to me today.
I am so touched.
