    Dear Open Mind:

    We're so happy for you! Isn't it great that attitudes and circumstances have changed to this degree for so many of us?

    All the best, friend!

    Love Osso Bucco, and I am so happy for you and your family. I have been in the same situation and I was the one crying for forgiveness, I really can't believe it took so long to wake up!

    Enjoy your family!

    "I have been in the same situation and I was the one crying for forgiveness,"

    Speaking from personal experience, those tears are VERY cathartic.

    Thanks for all the supportive posts everyone!

    We had a fantastic time. We just took my brother back to the airport.

    I've visited with him one-on-one several times in the last 3 years since my own awakening, but this was the first time getting together with my wife and kids. We were all amazed at how well it went. It felt SOOOO right. My wife and kids became aware of bits and pieces of the gay community they had never really thought about before and it was all received in a completely non-judgemental fashion.

    Most of all it was great getting to know my older brother as a real, loving, breathing, human being and not some "demonized" foaming-at-the-mouth apostate Son of Satan that the WT would have us believe.

    We're hoping to get back together over Spring Break.

    The planting, watering and waiting was very much worth it.

    OM - great news! It feels good to do what is right instead of being told to do something by the WTS that is so very wrong.

    All the best, Zarco
