This is letter 16, another interesting thing in my life. Well at lease I think so.... Letter from Shirley May 2001 |
Here we go again. I had to go on a trip. Airplane trip silly. On the way back I stopped to see a friend. We have been friends for a very, very long time. We know stories about X wives and other things. But not ALL things as you will see. This all started about a month ago. I was at home and the phone rang. It was my friend. We were talking and I had had a little wine that night. I�ve been thinking about telling him about Shirley for about 2 years but have not found the right time and didn�t know how. So I open mouth and stick my foot in by saying, �I have to tell you about my other side some day.� As soon as I said that, I was thinking, YOU STUPID. WELL, the cat is about out of the bag now. We talked more and then said our good byes. We talked on the phone 5 or 6 more times but the subject did not come up. I thought, maybe he would forget. What a dilemma. I want to tell all, BUT, I don�t want to loose a friend, a very good friend, of many years. I got prepared for the trip and took some pictures with me just in case. He picks me up at the airport and we do the usual small talk. What�s up, How is work yada yada yada. When we get to the place I grab my day planner and take it inside with me. Not too strange because I have to make some phone calls, but the pictures are in it. I make the calls and we talk some more. Then I said, �About the other night and the other side.� He said, � I wondered if that would come up.� Now here is the big moment. I said,� A picture is worth a 1000 words and I have pictures.� I continue, �This is a little embarrassing but I have a sexual disphobia and I cross dress!� WELL This is where the rubber meets the road, the Sxxx hits the fan, the buck stops. There was a bit of silence and then He said, � I understand, I DO TOO!� You could have knocked me over with a feather. All these years and we both do and didn�t talk about it and didn�t know. WELL, let me tell you, we talked about it for a long time. It is still a little embarrassing that another person knows, but you do, so, OH WELL. I am still in shock two weeks later. Now when Karen P and I are on the phone we have another subject to talk about. What are you wearing, no, what are you wearing first? Tonight I have on my yada yada yada. You know what I mean girls. So that�s the news of late. Like it???? More yada later. Shirley J |
