The life that was promised: high School football games, a factory job, a wedding, a nuclear family, a house in the suburbs, two and a half children, a dozen grandchildren, a pipe and a folded newspaper, a lawn to mow... and a dog.
My life didn't turn out that way. It was hidden homosexuality, a broken closet door, dozens of boyfriends, cities, drugs, alcohol, AIDS and funerals, Hope, loss of Hope, health, and cancer. And now here I am, retired, in a city I love, happily married to a wonderful man.
10/10, would do it again.
Happy Monday everyone. Enough with the looking back. On with the week.
