I did everything backwards in my life.....at 47, I became positive and shortly thereafter I started using crystal meth. When I told my family and friends that I was gay, I had little or no resistance, but when I revealed at 47 that I was positive I received a lukewarm responses that quickly turned into no responses at all. When I would call them I would always get answering machines and wouldn't get call backs. At first I thought it was bad timing but after having this happen time and time again, I felt very issolated.
I guess before I continue with this story I should give you a little backround on me. I'm the oldest son and the middle child of 5 and have always had a very good relationship with my family. Friendships have always been special to me and I have cultivated friendships as one would tend a special garden. I'm Italian/Irish and had a wonderful upbringing with lots of love.....both of my parents have passed and I miss them both very much. LOL....and the other thing you should know is this is my first experience blogging or writing for that matter so please excuse my errors.
