Remove Stuffing when warm and fluffy

I'm sorry victor! I took so long to write it out for you. Its probably too late =(.

Frank has already heard this story.

It was Thanksgiving. This was the first family gathering I went to after I came out to all my friends and joined APIQ. Of course because it is a family eevnt everyone tries to catch up on peoples lives. My aunts were pestering me with questions about Having girlfriends and dating girls.

I wasn't really sure what to say. So I didn't say anything. I was fighting to find words and nothing.

Then one of my Aunts came over and told them to leave me alone because I could love WHOMEVER I wanted WHENEVER I wanted and I didn't have to tell them. Then the questions stopped.
I thanked her for getting me out of that situation. The rest of the night was fun and family filled.

Three months later and she is the first person in my family I came out to. She told me she already knew when I was little. She just wanted to hear it from me first. It was then I realized why she was my favorite aunt. She didn't want me to get hurt. She was always there taking me to the zoo or walking me home from elementary school or playing with me because my cousins left me out. She didn't want me to feel different. (She also read me Alanna... a story about a girl who pretneds to be a guy because she wants to become a knight. My favorite)

When I told her she told me "welcome to the family."
She is a lesbian. I didn't even know until a couple of years ago.
She always asks me about the GoGs and APIQ because she sees some of our adventures on facebook. She she tells me she knows I'm with good people because of how much happier I've become. For PRIDE weekend she was upset that she didn't still live in the Castro because she told me she would let APIQ stay there so we could party all night and crash. hehe how fun that would have been=D.

I'm sad that she is moving away in a year to live with her wife in Boston. I'm happy that she found someone and has a great family. I'm just going to miss her. She was always there for me. I hope I can be there for someone else.
<3 you auntie K
