A Beautiful Love Letter From A Mother To Her Son

[FourScore]

We should all have a mother like her.

Every child, LGBT or not, should have parents as loving and accepting as those of a 13 year old boy who recently came out to his parents. In response, the young boy's mother penned this special note to let him know that he would always be loved. Connor is indeed a lucky boy, to have such devoted, supportive parents. Check out the note for yourself.

1. How much better the world would be if we all had a mother like this...

13 is such a vulnerable age...His mom did it just right.

Kudos to her, her husband, and to their son, who will continue to amaze them with his living!

2. My Speculation is That There Are Far More Ma's Than Pa's Open to This Admirable Sentiment

For whatever reason, in my experience, women seem to be much less threatened, either personally or in a larger sense, by alternative sexual preferences on the part of others, including their offspring.

6. Broad brush much?

I have told both my boys that whoever they love is welcome in this house.
And they know we love them, no matter what.
So, no, it's not only the moms that love their kids.

3. Wow ... what a great mom.

4. Loved, and safe.

I am almost fifty-one years old and long away from my childhood home, but the love and safety I grew up with there has sustained me though the worst times of my life. I don't know where I'd be without my parents' affirmation of their support and love for me; and let me tell you, I've screwed up so badly and so many times... my parents are heroes. So are my siblings. Now I'm a mother and I understand that it's really so simple, what we must do to support our children. My daughter is bisexual which has been so difficult for her to come to terms with despite our liberal household. She believed she had to swing one way or the other and we have happily supported her as she has learned to accept and embrace who she is, and who she loves. I have never thought of her as anything but my beloved daughter, and her brothers have been by her side through every up and down.

My parents were there for me even when I defied their expectations, because they loved me. I will always be there for all three of my children, because I love them. It's really so simple, when you come down to it. I'd applaud the mom who wrote the message posted but I know she would say, "Why?" Instead, I embrace and love her and her family We have much in common, and that is not so common.

5. That is lovely.

It is even nicer to see after reading a story about a mother who beat her 4yo son to death because "he walked and talked like a faggot." There are some wonderful people out there for gay children to claim as parents.

My 12th anniversary (not legal yet) with my partner was a month ago. We got a very nice gift from my parents, and this card from my mother:

Dear "Aegis" and "Man he loves",

Thank y'all for not only being my sons but being my friends. Love y'all more than you can ever know. Y'all help me mend my soul. You make us happy by being happy."

(then comments about our gift arriving late! LOL!)
