I used to shake my head when I heard about mothers who were shocked - shocked! - when their kids came out.

My dad and mom divorced when I was around ten, and I didn't live with him after that, though he was close by and we saw each other weekly.

It occurred to me then that my dad was kind of special; he's still one of my favorite writers.
