Kayden, Justin, Isaac, Irina, reaction to coming out

Right when I finished having a late lunch, Teunis got up - we talked about thoughts and my sister for a while. When Henry called me, I was certainly ready to leave! He said that they'd watched the hockey game at Fellowship last night; NICE! When we got to church, I said hi to Golden and Daniel; I gave Chrystal her birthday present a little later. She seemed pretty touched by the chocolates and such, and said I didn't have to - well, a little late for that! Discussed my friend, not kicking people out, making sure I was okay (definitely), our weeks, travel plans, and more. When Melia got there, we talked in hushed tones about my sister and Angus watching hockey. (she was taking a study break - and told Sabrina that she sounded like her brother Edmond) I interacted with the kids Nathan (colors!), Irina, Ian, Harrison (who loves pressing elevator buttons), Rachel, Kayden and Justin (who are cousins and "always share and sit next to each other"), Amos, Isaac (birthdays), and others. (also said hi to Stanley, Rosenda, Mike K., Julie C., and others - UNCLE SAM WAS MODELED ON A REAL PERSON!)

John drove me home, and I saw my first ice cream truck this year; we also saw a car accident between an Accord and an SUV. When I got home, I called my sister; she can't hang out tomorrow because she's taking engagement pictures with Lisa on the Island. I asked her just how Mom and Dad reacted; she'd hung out with the lards yesterday, and waited till Big G had gone to sleep. She said that she had something to tell them, then started crying. Mom thought she had a boyfriend (complete opposite!), was pregnant, had been in a car accident, didn't want to go to church anymore, or other "extreme" scenarios. Then she said that it would be okay, so Steph told them what was REALLY up, and Dad walked out of the room before she'd even finished. She doesn't want to overwhelm them with engagement news (which is what I'd have advised her), so that's fine. Apparently, Mom's normal and has called her already to see how she is - Steph thinks she'll be okay, but WHO KNOWS about Dad. Not like he calls / emails us a lot anyway, but I won't talk to him about her for some time just to be safe. Oh well.
