<p>Telling dad was the second time I came out to family deliberately.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The third.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Third?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You told Aunt Patty that you were gay back before high school.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I&hellip;did not remember that.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Not until just now, apparently.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Apparently. I have no recollection of what I said. I have no recollection of what <em>she</em> said.</p>
<p>I have no recollection of her.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Hazy images at grandma&rsquo;s.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I guess.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Memories surrounding her.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Lots of those.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Memories of when she and her family got stranded on a sailboat between Cuba and Florida and rescued by a cruise ship. Grandma and dad smug in their assessment that she was stupid and irresponsible.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A vague, heavily pixelated picture shot by one of the cruise boat attendants.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;She&rsquo;s crazy,&rdquo; they said. &ldquo;She has too many kids. They draw all over the walls. Her house is wild. She&rsquo;s crazy.&rdquo;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And me, with with my secret. My little pet lie I kept hidden from them.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Tell me about coming out to dad.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I will.</p>
