I don't even visit Sepia Mutiny that often, although I do like it and should visit more often. And I rarely comment on blogs. On top of this my rare comment on that post on Sepia Mutiny was, I think, the 197th, and I didn't think *anyone* would read it or pay much attention. <br />And look, one of the few people who A.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00087663457150317651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28206260.post-18440404131593424552007-01-06T14:17:00.000+01:002007-01-06T14:17:00.000+01:00A.S., hi!

The funny thing with decisions like this is that, afterwards, you rarely wish for the "innocence" of the past.<br /><br />I'm not, myself, gay.

I have been a very regular visitor on "Daddy, Papa & Me" ever since. As I have mentioned before on there, in many ways your family is an ideal for me, a dream even.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you completely, it is A.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00087663457150317651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28206260.post-1158083662264787312006-09-12T19:54:00.000+02:002006-09-12T19:54:00.000+02:00Thanks for sharing this story!

It takes some people a very long time, but it's so worth it and important, I think, to share our lives with them whether they are ready at that time or not. I posted a note to you on Trey's blog, but don't know that you'll see it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
