My mom would hold my hand her whole life. She had her flaws, but she loved to hold my hand when we went places together. I never objected which gives me comfort now that she has been gone for almost 20 years. My dad would hold my hand too.

And though it may seem squicky to some both my parents kissed me on the lips. I grew up with it, it wasn't weird at all to me, however, they didn't do it in public.

"We bet they flirted a whole bunch of times and then finally sealed the deal in the Lincoln Bedroom, or maybe in the Rose Garden"

You liberals and your "gays" and "marriage" and "happiness". Bah!

Remember when Crazy Uncle Joe was this country's "Ha, ha. What will he say next?" politician? Yeah. The melancholy of nostalgia is almost painful at this point.

I'm going to miss him so much. Just a decent, fun-loving, caring guy.

Most of the gay men I've known over the years in CA were mid-western farm boys. Interesting.

Sigh... YHJB is giving me the vapors, big time. Also, too, what a great guy to marry these two lovebirds in his own house (which I'm certain has no gold-plating anywhere).

I remember this exchange with the then-5 or 6 year old offspring"Are Aunt Wam and Aunt Gee sisters?" "No, buddy, Aunt Wam is my sister and Steph is Aunt Gee's sister. They're not related like that.""Are they like Uncle J and Aunt Sue?""Yes. Just like that.""So are they married?" "Well, no, honey, they're not... but as soon as they're allowed to be, they will be.""Why can't they?""It's not the law yet. I don't know why.""That's stupid."

And that was it.
