I was so excited to get this in my inbox just now....
1. Because I asked for stories and this was the first, (it worked!)
2. Because I never got to meet Pam's mother in person, and
3. Because I love snapshots of my friends' mothers.
My mother taught English at Edison High School in the early 60's. It so happened that the art and music teacher were in a relationship. Both parties being male presented a bit of a problem for the school district. My mother valued both men and considered them her good and dear friends.
I was ridiculously naive and had no clue there was a problem. However, I remember her saying,"it's not who you love that matters-only that you love."
Good one mom.
