Loved this powerful story
ππ©π’π―π¬ π π°πΆβ£, Laura Hall for writing this beautiful book, ππππ₯π’πππ’π¨π§. Thank you for sharing your story. A story of love, of heartache, of hope and ultimately, of happiness. Your perspective of growing up with a closeted gay dad in a time of LGBTQ+ unacceptance and uncertainty, is one we all should hear. I loved reading your memoir and your family's story. Your strength and resiliency is admirable. Your mom and your dad - I love their love story. And I'm so happy you found yours. β€β£

One of my many favorite passages:β£

"You weren't ripe before," Luis told me one day.β£
"Huh?"β£
"Just like an avocado."β£
"What are you talking about?"β£
"Avocadoes don't ripen on the tree," he said.β£
"Uh..." I started.β£
"They only ripen after they've fallen to the ground."β£

Thank you Laura for sharing your story with me. And thanks to your publicist for reaching out and connecting me to you. You have a beautiful gift.β£
