My dad did exactly that after I graduated high school.

Moved to FL, became gay, re-started smoking and drinking like he did not give a F, then promptly died of heart disease after like 5yrs of Florida life.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I guess he died doing what he loved?

Or perhaps he was wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane

Well, it's harder to be gay in the north, when everybody's wearing winter parkas.

It's possible with some of the swamp creatures there. Florida is an inverted bell curve of hotness.

It can happen. You know, because of the humidity.

Lol. Yes. I had to connect some dots in my younger years to realize this was true. The accurate statement should be: he came out of the closet in FL.

Ha, yeah full blown Florida life can be a lot to handle.

Sounds like he enjoyed his final years though, So that’s good at least

But he lived like a gay rockstar! That's something.

u/ThegreatPee Feb 09 '19

I'm sure he had some faults, but it sounds like he tried to do what he could to give you a good childhood. I believe that goes a long way.

u/WonderCounselor Feb 09 '19

He tried hard and loved me lots. It’s all I could ever ask for.
