Jeremiah, the mother said to the young man, I organized a date for you with my partner’s daughter, I think it’s time for you to go out and meet someone, you don’t want to stay locked up here, and if you don’t go out, how do you think you’re going to meet him? a woman. I already told you that I have no intention of dating anyone at the moment, I hope you learn to respect my decisions mom. I’m sorry Jeremías, I already compromised my word with her and you won’t make me look bad.
Mom, I told you again, I’m not interested in her and I’ve already made my decision. The mother looked at him and before leaving the room she said: she is waiting for you at two in the afternoon, now I will send you the address of the meeting and she left. Jeremías organized his backpack, his campsite and left, he wanted time to think about his life and what made him happy. Already in the field the young man had time to think, for him it was important to face himself, leave his fears, recognize himself, balance his being; enjoying the pure air, the mountains, the flowers, blowing the dandelion flowers, made me feel envious of the flower, I flew free with the wind, there were no burdens, I just was, I watched the birds loose in the sky, they flew, They sang and went wherever they wanted without worries, he enjoyed the water of the river, it purely flowed and he also simply wanted to flow without anything stopping its course, those four days of solitude and silence were enough for him to make the decision, he grabbed his things and returned to his house, there he found his parents gathered who were upset for not having made the appointment with the young woman. Sit down Jeremiah! The mother said, «We have to talk seriously and before his mother continued speaking, the son interrupted her and told his parents: no, it’s me who should speak, I hope you let me speak until the end and don’t interrupt me,» he continued nervously. telling them, I didn’t know how to confront them and tell them, for fear that they would judge me, that they would stop loving me, that they would take away their support, but I am homosexual and I am not willing to go out with someone for whom I have no feelings, or there is no interest, I already like someone and I have been with them for six months, I hope they understand me and accept such an important life decision. The mother looked at him surprised and the father, who had remained silent, told him quickly before the mother said a word. The truth is, I sensed it a long time ago. I didn’t want to tell you anything out of respect for your privacy. You are a responsible young man. Son, you can wait. all our support, I am sure that your mother is now surprised but we will respect your decision, just give it time, it is your life son and that is why we will not stop loving you, rather let us process the information and we will let you know what day you can bring your partner to meet him and welcome him to the family. Jeremías looked at his father with tears in his eyes and said thank you dad for understanding me, mom I’m going to my room and I hope we can talk about it later, I just want to tell you that I love you deeply. Jeremías went to his room and from that day on everything changed, he just needed to make a decision.
