My mother, god I love her!! I'm so lucky to have her.
First of all I want to say that, I came out to her about 3 years ago. The hardest thing I've ever had to do. It went fairly smoothly but my mother was really surprised. Even though I was 27 and had never been with a man. lol She told me she loves me no matter what and that was that. Now the following few years leading up to today, I have allowed her to get used to it and grow with it at her own pace. My mother has never ever been homophobic, but as a parent she just wanted me to be happy and and I guess being in a long distance relationship with a woman worried her. hehe And me knowing my mom the way that I do, I know that she cannot be pushed.
She has hinted at my sexuality and acknowledged my relationship quite a few times, but this week, I can finally say that she has accepted it 100% and that she finally sees me for ME and who I am. I could not be happier. I want to cry, writing this.
She and I bowl together, in a league, every Thursday and in a couple weeks I'm in a mini tournament. This passed Thursday I was looking at who I teamed up with and the buy I will be playing with is a gay guy. So my mom says: "Oh! The two gays are gonna bowl together. Fun!" hehehe omg!! Until that day, she had never called me gay, let alone out loud and in public!! We were laughing so hard and I was smiling like a moron. It's something so simple that happened but it was such a big deal for me and for her. I guess it is officially safe to say that my mother has 100% accepted my homosexuality and I cannot even explain to you how amazing that feels.
Next month my girlfriend is coming up to Canada for my Birthday and I cannot wait for all of us to spend time together!
I'm so lucky!!
