Well, we are still waiting to hear back from the doctors as to Sarah's health, but we are both still here, and happy! I am seeing her tomorrow, very excited :D Sad I know, but still. So today, children, I shall tell you about when Sarah met my parents, because it was pretty funny for all of us! My parents are separated, so this post will also include how I came out to each of them...Hmmm haha!
Well, I told my Mum first. That was about 3 months before I met Sarah. I took her out shopping, and then to a restraunt. I though a public place would be best, as I wasn't too sure of her reaction. I actually said 'Mum, I am gay', and she nearly spat her drink all over the table, was pretty funny for me.:D She asked a couple of questions, and then I asked her what she thought. She said:
'I still love you the same.'
Now THAT is the kind of reaction I wish every parent had. I think it shocked her a little, but now she has got used to the idea, she has been really supportive of me and Sarah. Instead of asking, if I am coming round, she asks if we want to come round. She always sends Sarah her love at the end of every conversation. I wish all parents were like mine, in that sense. Sarah has been accepted as part of the family. I am so lucky everyone gets on so well!
As for telling my Dad, again, I chose a restraunt. Seeing as it worked with my Mum, I went for the same 'I have something to tell you Dad. I am gay.' angle. I was really unsure as to what my Dad would say, but there you go. He looked at me, and said:
'Well as long as you are happy, Darlin', it doesn't bother me! I am a bit surprised though.'
Apparently my hair and dress sense hadn't given it away. Well, who knows then!! So anyways, both of my parents knew, my brother had known for ages, though he guessed. Maybe he is smarter than I thought.. :) Nah, I love my big brother, he's such a lad :D (And clever too, regardless of what I may say!)
So, meet the parents! Well, she met my Dad, brother and Brothers Girlfriend all at the same time. My Dad is Mike, my brother is Ben, and his girlfriend is Jodie. Originally the plan was for Sarah to meet just my Dad, as we were all going to the pub together to watch the rugby, England vs. Wales. However, just before half time my brother decided he was coming with Jo, so Sarah got to meet them all at once! As it was an England game, obviously we were all supporting England.. except Sarah! Some of her family is Welsh therefore she was supporting the sheep.. well, we all make mistakes!! Well, as soon as my Dad realised, the Welsh jokes started. One of my personal favorites was:
'Why the hell would anyone pay to get over the bridge INTO Wales? I can understand coming OUT, but IN??!' LOL!
Well, after a few drinks, my Dad gave us the, 'You might be straight after puberty' talk. That was definitely amusing, LOL! So, after the game Dad dropped us back at mine! 5 minutes after we got in, he text me saying Sarah was great, he really liked her and he hoped to see us both again soon, Awww!
Meeting my Mum, again Ben came, except this time without Jo. We all went out to dinner, and had the usual normal discussions, though my brother made the mistake of describing a jig at work:
'It's MASSIVE! Anywhere between 6-8 inches depending on the job!'
Apparently my comment of 'Mate, 6 inches is NOTHING!' was not appreciated. My Mum nearly choked..oops! So then we all went home, after a lovely lunch together. That was pretty much when Sarah became part of the family, WOO!
So, now, once again, it is time for me to go, however I have a little something for Sarah before I do. This is a personal message from me to her, so i thought you would all like to see. Made particularly relevant due to the situation!
This is Hayley: Signing off!
