Dolphin’s Dock

It’s funny how the tiniest things can have the biggest impact. When my sister (let’s call her BabySis™) found out I was gay (back when I was in high school), she never said anything about it, but a rift developed between us. For years, she’d more or less ignore my very existence, not that she was ever rude or mean she just didn’t’ really associate with me. As the years have passed however she’s begun to be more and more friendly again eventually reaching the point where she’s excited to see me when I visit home. That’s good and I’m grateful for that, but having never talked to her directly about me being gay I didn’t really know what was going on in her head with regards to that (still don’t, I guess, but I know enough to satisfy me now). Last night, I happened to peak over TheBoyfriend™’s shoulder as he was checking his Facebook account. BabySis™ had added him as a friend and requested “friend details” confirmation. There it was. In addition to noting that she new him through me, she had listed him as “In my family.”

Small gesture, but it meant more to me than she will ever realize.
