I will forever remember the day I became the life of the party and fell asleep in your bed..complete with a bottle of beer in my hand! I love that place, I loved dancing to Kylie at 3am, I loved the copious amounts of red wine we consumed, I loved the gossip that was shared, I loved the company that was shared. I love that when I come home, there will now be a new place to share many many more new memories with you.

“The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.”

And eventhough I stand in one country and you in another, I look forward to the day that our directions are re aligned..and Im sitting right beside you.

Love you as much as one possibly could

As I sit in Perth celebrating my miniman’s (ok he’s 6ft 2) 21st birthday celebration, I look back on our friendship, meeting the minimen and consider this part of my journey to be one of the highlights of my living in Sydney. (The London holiday highlights will remain just between you and me).
I like many of your readers have enjoyed the many trials and tribulations of the minimen, with you coping with being a single parent who continues to maintain a healthy and caring relationship with their mother, of your conquests and attempted conquests to name just a few, have brought many smiles to my face.
I used to think that I was the odd one out. Still visiting my ex-wife, staying with her and my son when I returned many times to Perth, even though work would have paid for my accommodation… You my friend have shown through your column and writing that being a gay dad and having a healthy relationship with the mother of one’s children is not something that is strange or abnormal but something that should be encouraged and nutured.
I too had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye as you walked down those steps the last time from my apartment.
My friend, enjoy your new home, your minimen and relationship with their mother. You deserve the best and may it be just waiting around the corner for you.
Love Bill

PS, thanks for explaining the George was holding two paddles pops when he stepped over me as he wasn’t wearing any undies and I wasn’t sure what dripped on me!!
