Blurb:
Jake wonders if he’ll ever find a long-term, loving relationship
like his parents have. After all, same-sex marriage is a pipe dream. Then he
meets Dave. From the first kiss, they know they belong together. For over fifty
years they’re together, living their happily ever after in spite of bigotry.
They raise four wonderful children, always counting on the promise they give
each other every night – “see you in the morning.”
Excerpt:
Jake walked into the cottage, laid the rose on the hall
table, removed his jacket and hung it on a hook inside the hall closet. He took
Dave’s green sweater from a hanger, slipped it around his back and hugged
himself with the sleeves. The scent of Dave’s favorite aftershave filled his
nostrils. My dear one, what will I ever
do without you? He picked up the rose, stuck the stem through a buttonhole
on his shirt and went into the kitchen. He took two glasses from the cupboard
and pushed a button on the refrigerator door. Ice and green tea flavored with
honey and ginseng poured into the glasses. He frowned at the glasses and set
one on the table. I guess I only need one
glass.
His shoulders drooped and his feet shuffled as he walked to
the living room. He felt much older than his seventy-six years. He set the
glass on the table next to his favorite chair, sat and pushed a button on the
arm of his chair. Across the room a huge screen nearly the size of the wall
rose up and displayed a menu. He pushed another button and an old-fashioned
photograph appeared on the screen. Memories flooded his mind.

A. T. Weaver is the pen name of a divorced grandmother of eleven, great-grandmother of one. She lives with her cat, Cleopatra, in downtown Kansas City, MO.
When she was growing up, the word gay meant happy and carefree and homosexuals were called queer or ‘one-of-those’. However, she never heard those terms until she was married and a mother. When two men moved in down the street from their mobile home, her husband had to explain they were queer. As far as she was concerned, they were just a couple of men sharing a trailer.
In 2003, through a TV show called Boy Meets Boy, using the sign-on of ‘alixtheweaver’ she ‘met’ over 3,000 gay men in a Yahoo group. These men called her ‘grandma J. and educated her as to the inequalities suffered by the LGBT community She became a staunch ally. She visited one of the men in San Francisco who lived just up the street from the Castro. As he showed her around, they stopped in front of what was once Harvey Milk’s camera store. Her question, “Who was Harvey Milk?” started her education into Gay history.
After the passing of Prop 8 in 2008, she attended her first ever protest rally at the ripe age of 65 where she held a church flag across the street from WBC protesters.
A. T.’s aim is to move you in some way. Whether you laugh or cry, love it or hate it, she welcomes all comments, whether good or bad.
