This is a parent appreciation post, but not the tidy kind. I talk about the 11-year journey of coming out, the grief of never getting to tell my mother, and the complicated, grace-filled path my dad and I walked after a member of his church threatened to out me if I didn’t tell him myself. It’s about loss, love, and the slow, beautiful work of becoming known — and still being loved.
