It's just before 6 a.m., and I really should be getting my ass to the pool before work. I just had to share this with somebody.
I call my grandma in Europe every weekend. We've always been extremely close, but she's one of two people in my family that didn't know I'm gay. I've come out to my immediate family here in the US over a month ago now. I just didn't see the point of telling my 85+ year old grandmother living in a nursing home. Why complicate things, right?
Anyway, I did tell her I'm going out more, probably drink a little more than I have in the past, have new friends, and for someone that's been a loner most of his life, am much happier now. You know how grandma's have a knack for reading between the lines and asking a lot of direct questions. On Sunday she asked just about every question except the one. After our conversation, she called up my Mom and told her that she thinks I'm gay, that she thinks I have a bf, that I sound happier and more at ease than at any time in years, and why don't I just come out and tell her?
So this morning I called her up. Before I could say a lot, she just asked me "You have something to tell me, don't you?" When I said yes, I just told her that I've been seeing somebody special for three weeks now. All she wanted to know was whether it was a he. When I said yes, she said that that' all she needed to know. She said that it was wonderful, and to her it was natural. She's suspected that I'm gay for quite a long time now but didn't want to put me on the spot.
I could just kiss her. Too bad she lives 7000 miles away.
