Kids Today


You miss a bit when your a gay man. I'm not asking anyone to feel sorry for me but there are things you don't get to experience when you don't have kids.

Unless your really lucky.

I am.

A lot of my friends had the good sense to be straight. And thank the powers that be they seem to have been driven by hormones.

Thank God.

I got this story out of my girlfreind Lolli's oldest. Thanks K - I love all my kids - but you most ! And your little ones too !

I was 15, and I had just moved to Ballard with my dad. Bryce was 21, and he
was living in his brother in laws apartment up the street near Ballard high
school.

My friend Natalie and I wear having lunch at Denny's right by my house, and
one of the waiters was relentlessly hitting on us. We were trying to do/say
anything we could to get rid of him. Natalie told him we were going up the
street to hang out with her friend Bryce. The guy talked us into a ride up
there, and when we got to his apartment natalie told me to go up and knock
on his door. I was a bit shy having never met him, but Ihad heard about him
from mutual friends who had partied at his house before.
So I walked up to the door, while Natalie got her bag out of the car, and
knocked. I remember thinking Bryce was very hot the second I saw
him.......But the way Bryce tells it is sweeter.

He says that when he opened his door, he saw an angel on his front step.
Picture a movie scene, with the wind blowing my hair around, and light
coming from behind me, surounding my head like a halo. I was the most
beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Natalie and I stayed the night with him, but Bryce and I didn't really get
to know each other until a few months later. Honestly, he passed out on his
bed, and I ended up hanging out with his room mate.

But a few months later I called him begging for a ciggarette. And he brought
one to me, and from that night on we were a couple..........until about 3
months later. We were friends after we broke up, but I moved to stanwood and
he moved down to his parents in vancouver.

After I got pregnant with Elora, Bryce and I started talking more, and when
I was about 6 months pregnant we became a couple again. We have been
together ever since. He is my one and only.
