Family has always been important to me. More now that I'm older and I have a family of my own. Damain and Russ are very important to me because they are my family now and I love the fact that we all are there for each other. Just last weekend was the 4th of July. We had a BBQ on Sunday, had friends and family over. Simple times like this just makes me stop to realize how importnat it is to have your loved ones around and that just because we're a gay family doesn't make it any diffrent from any other family and with our love for each other, I think out family gets stronger and stronger every day.
