π˜›π˜©π˜’π˜―π˜¬ 𝘠𝘰𝘢⁣, Laura Hall for writing this beautiful book, π€πŸπŸπ₯𝐒𝐜𝐭𝐒𝐨𝐧. 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. ❀⁣

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