    Heh, im still crying somewhat. (pull yourself TOGETHER greg! *slap*)

    That....is....amazing. Dan...wow. Your mother is like a saint. I dont care if she kills puppies at night, because that letter right there makes up for whatever faults she may have. She truly loves you, and wants you to be happy. Sometimes its hard for our parents to show that :slight_smile:

    And i just loved that line, heh, Dan your amazing :slight_smile:

    Wow! What a strong and fantastic letter from you, and the most amazing response from a parent I think I've ever seen. My eyes started watering from her first sentence, and by the end... :tears: What a Mom you have! Congrats!

    lol...yeah i guess its a pretty steep learning curve. And thanks for all the nice comments i hope it helps everyone fight away fears. My mother is fantastic and i cant believe how great that letter is. did i mention she sent it at 2 am...lol...and i love my brother for texting her to check her mail....i everyday i know i am blessed and it pains me that not everyone can have such a welcoming experience, but if it wasnt for you guys and gals i never would have, and i may not even be alive. I am pretty excited now, i even changed the desktop picture on my laptop to a shirtless sidney crosby and now everytime i see it i am ahappy bc i am not looking behind me to see who is coming. I am very nervous and anxious (same thing i guess) to start my new life i feel like a 15 year old boy, and i am scared bc i dont knwo what the future holds, but i am a little excited. My buddy Jeremy from work said "how lucky are you man, you get relive the 15 yearold passion and awkwardness that people take for granted and you never got to truly enjoy it. He hugged me and said how lucky i was to have him and my other buddy nick as my wing man bc i am the good looking one...lol...that cracked me up. I will let yall know how te pops handles it....phew!!!! deep breath

    Hey that's how I felt. I felt like a teenager again especially when I started to date. It was better because I have a lot more wisdom now. :slight_smile: Sounds like you have some awesome friends.

    dating makes me nervous, because i dont know what to do and i am still uncomfotrable with the gay scene and i may be forever. Ive just recently started working on my sefl esteem and self image, so i think once i am happy with the way i look and feel then maybe it will be easier, atleast i am hoping

    Take your time. Maybe join a couple of groups to start meeting people. I actually found it more comfortable dating guys and striking up conversation than with women.

    I understand. Like I said take your time. When you are more comfortable with things then you can start dating.

    That is so awesome that you have a super supportive family like that and yes I read your other thread about your dad, but your moms response made me start to tear up about a third the way through. Congrats though!!!!

    Well Dan, I hope you’re proud of yourself. Your mom’s response made me cry at work. :icon_redf Your coming out wins the “tear jerker of-the month” award. I’m sure your mom’s response will encourage a few more folks to come out. I wish all parents were as understanding. Congratulations and good luck. And thanks for the happy tears. (!)(!)
