Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

What beautiful parents.. I watched quite tearful.. That took courage on their daughters behalf.. I so wish more parents would be accepting, and understanding..
Many thanks for sharing.. ❤ Sue
It’s easier for girls to come out, I understand her parents wish she was “normal”, not because they are narrow-minded but they worry about what might happen to her. It is a cruel world and even worse if you are not normal, that’s why a lot of us choose to live in the closet. A big thank you for sharing
The thanks goes to her for sharing. Indeed the world can be sadly unfair and call for more courage than some of us can afford. I believe that love guides us in the best way and reminds us that ‘normal’ is something that doesn’t really exist.
“Normal” is how most people are… I know that some gay men deny their true nature, even to the point of getting married and having children, and then they are unhappy in their personal life.. I guess she made the right choice
When people try to make themselves into lives that are not true to their hearts, they hurt more than just themselves. The lives of the spouses and children are compromised too…
Wonderful parents!
