 The Power of Blood
It was about 30 years ago when I discovered I was gay. Unfortunately I was married. I was fully interested in my wife. I had inklings that I might be bisexual at the time. From the age of thirteen I knew I had an interest in both the male and female sex. It didn't seem to be much of a problem. I had many relationships with woman, and a few with men. Finally when I met Leanne, I found our relationship serious enough to ask her to marry me. She accepted and we were happy for about a year. That's when I found things were not working out for me. I didn't have the same feelings for her any longer.
I respected her as a person and a friend but as a lover the feelings just weren't there anymore. By the time I realized this she was 6 months pregnant with our child.
I knew she could tell I had changed. After the birth of Adrienne she grew cold towards me.
When I actually came out, she left me, and took Adrienne with her. I had no idea where they went. Her family wouldn't tell me. It broke my heart. One day, about 16 years later there was a knock at my door. I wasn't living in the same place anymore, and I'd finally given up on ever locating Adrienne.
And then there she was. The beautiful young adult version of that darling baby I'd seen so many years ago. "Mr Egan," she said, and my eyes began to water. I knew. I knew right then and there.
"Yes?" I barely responded. "I'm Adrienne Spark," she responded and we both cried. We hugged, and have been as close as any father and daughter, ever since.
