surprised, upset, and crying. I asked her why was she crying ... she didn't answer me, so I simply asked her if she loved him yesterday, well she got her dander up and said yes of course! So I asked her if she loved him now ... she said of course! After a minute or so, I said, so you feel the same way about him as you did yesterday, yes she said ... I asked her, well what has changed then? Oh I see, she said, smiling. From then on, the rest was as it always was ... still a Mom and a son. Hopefully when you tell your Dad he will love you just as he did yesterday. Good luck to you, it's a proud moment for you when you are able to be yourself.
