Perfect Moments
I have had some truly perfect moments in my life. Here are some:
January 1, 1989 approx 2am
I was 19 and I was out celebrating on New Year's Eve. I came home and told my mother that I was gay. I cried some and she held me and told me that she loved me no matter what and always would. I felt truly safe.
November, 1998 approx 9pm
We had just come back from a ride picking up furniture. Phil Collins was on the radio singing True Colors and my soon to be secret lover professed a love for me and then we kissed and it was heaven. I felt truly safe.
April 12, 2001 approx 2am
I didn't start out driving, but circumstances occurred and I found myself behind the wheel. The Jeep flipped, I was arrested, and my lover limped home. I got a ride home from the police station a couple hours later, picked the glass out of my skull, and asked for a ride to his house since he didn't answer the phone (he was passed out). No one would take me until I threatened to walk. I woke his entire household banging on the door until someone answered. I had to see him. I had to know he was all right. He held me while I slept. I felt truly safe.
January 22, 2006
I had a dinner party last night. My babies (god children) were there. I held them all, one at a time. Kissing and hugging each perfect one........turning my head so nobody saw me get misty eyed. My life had never been so happy....and couldn't ever possibly be better. I've never felt so safe.
