My Tommy was loved by everyone who knew him. I do tend to gush about him, embarrassingly so.

Yes, I know many gay couples who've been together for decades but like most of history, especially here in the south, we are the "whispered about folks". Times change and then repeats itself. If only we could learn from our past.

Thank you, truly
May You Be Healthy, Safe and Happy, and LOVED!
Reis
