Today I was looking up old friends from past jobs and places I have lived and managed to reconnect with a very good friend from Fort Nelson BC way back in the 90's. I use to work at a bar with her, her mom and her brother. I have since learned from looking her up that her mom who I thought the world of and her brother who was an amazing man, they are both gone now, weird how life works. Sonny use to be so nice to me when others were mean and made fun of me for who I was and believe me it was tough to live in Fort Nelson and I had to be totally in the closet when I lived there.
Her mom is the one that gave me the chance in the bar up there and helped me to get where I am today in my life. She made me a much stronger person and also stood up for me every chance she got. Glad to reconnect with her and happy that I found her again, Thank You Face Book.
I have reconnected with many people over the years on FaceBook and am so glad to do so, many people were so important in my life and i think of them all often and wish that I would have stayed in better touch with so many of them. To those who I have lost touch with and are no longer with us, Rest In Peace.
Anyways Tanya i am glad you are back in my life and I look forward to more emails and seeing more pictures of you and your boys and your sister. take care and be well.
Fort Nelson was a crazy part of my life, but really and truly amazing and is the place where I grew up and by grow up I mean I matured and became a real and honest person and also the last place where I lived my closeted life. I then moved to Edmonton and oh my god, that was the craziest few years and coming out was quite the journey!
