It's almost 2am and I just finished talking to my mom. I've been out for 7 years, with my partner for 5, but I never talked to her directly about coming out. Twenty some years ago, when I first did so, heartbreak followed. I've been sitting on it for years, now. The situation was finally "right" and I just told her. She was totally fine and I am so relieved and happy. I showed her photos and my rings, told her all about Candy, and told her about our plans to have a ceremony. She said she'd be there. It was rather anti-climactic and also wonderful, I am not going to be able to sleep. Yay.
