You know that I think that the entire world revolves around you? The amount of times that you have cheered me up without even knowing why I was upset is huge. But you know why I spent all those nights locked up in my room and fighting with mom and dad. Now you know why I've been in my room so much or why I'm hardly ever home these days. I'm so sorry that you're hurting. I'm sorry that you're angry and upset. Its killing me to see you like this. Its killing me that you won't even look my way, but when you do look at me its just to yell. I hope that someday my little boy is like you. Tied to his convictions, loving endlessly and bold with what he believes in. I know that you're saying what you're saying out of love. I see that. I need you to know that I love you a lot and that I am sorry that this is the reality we find ourselves in. But buddy, I am gay. It isn't a choice. It isn't caused by my past. I just like girls. A lot. I like a girl. A lot. I love you Noah James. Chin up. Even if it means ignoring me for a while, chin up.
