Staying The Course

[Guest Justme]

Hi all. Good news. I was talking to my Mom yesterday, and she started crying. I asked what was wrong, and she said,"I am so sorry for all the time I have wasted by not talking to you. I was just so afraid of what people would think and what the neighbors would say,so that is why I let you go," I told her, that is the past and, I hold no hard feelings. let's start fresh ...today. It was 7 years ago that I came out to her, and only in the past few months did we start talking. And we started talking because I decided to call her once a week just to say I love you.

So wanted to share this, because I know alot of us deal with people that treat us badly. hang in there. Keep your integrity. Remain strong in yourself. Miracles do happen.

And thank you to all of you that have hung in there with me during the rough times I have had. I do appreciate it very much

That is so good to hear!

I am glad that you have kept the door open and just look what happened, your mother decided to answer your invitations and walk back in.

And Telling her that it is all in the past and moving forward - fantastic.

I am so happy for you and proud of you too.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Justme,

Like Sally, I'm happy for you, too, because you did it right, and kept that communication open. That is so important. A simple call, a simple remembrance of others' lives. Sometimes that's all it takes, even tho it sometimes feels like forever. And I know, seven years is a long time, but now you have even more years ahead for the both of you to share in each other's lives and that's wonderful.

Hugs

That's just wonderful news, hon. I am so happy for you!

Yes, never burn that bridge, because you always want to have a way to go back across. You're a good man, and a good person.

I'm very proud of you. You have a lot of ground to cover with your mom, a lot of catching up to do. I wish you happiness.

Thank you all ...for your replys. I feel so grateful for the friends here and for this new chance with my Mom. For years, I had therapists and friends telling me I needed to let go of my family. But my gut kept telling me to hang in there. And I am so glad I did. As the saying goes...Love will prevail. And again, for all that deal with people leaving....Hang in...Never let go. Love will have it's day. So....I love you all....and thank you.
