I'm sorry about the grandmother thing. Undoubtedly tough. But congrats on the parents thing. I'm really happy to hear that they are open. What was it like meeting them and establishing a relationship with them?

My grandmother is incredibly old fashioned. Raised by the belt and dinner was served if you earned it. She's learned a few slang words here and there. She's pretty cool in all. My mother, when she first saw me in person again, said "Wow. You [i]are[/i] short". Which is what I had warned her about via phone. We've had our bumps and detours, as any relationship like that would, but it's an adventure so far. I've learned a lot I otherwise wouldn't have. My father is extremely eager to be intimate and close. Something I'm not quite ready for however free hugs How could I turn dat shit down?! In the end I'm happy. It's cool. It's different and a new path to travel!

Awesome! It sounds like a pretty ideal situation as far as things could have turned out. Def happy for you! You seem like such a positive person and I'm glad that things seem to be coming up Smi. Cheers!
