My nephew Sammy is sweet, smart, and talented. Three dogs are his “kids” whose ears get dyed cute colors. They go everywhere with him. My nephew came out about the fact he is gay on his Facebook page. I’m sure his announcement was was no surprise to anyone!

It’s heartwarming to read about your family and to see pictures too, and what a beautiful aunt you are dear Andrea, to support your nephew through his coming out journey. He is blessed as i know so many that gets rejected for being their authentic self. I bet he is a brilliant dancer. Would love to see a video. If its on youtube. Sending your family light always.

Thanks, Ink. He is a LOT like me and I often wish he had been my son instead because his mom (my baby sister) is not very much like me in personality. Sammy and I laugh a lot and love writing and watching tv shows. He put me on all his premium channels with him such as Netflix, Hulu, Acorn, apple, Max, etc. When he did that , I was able to always have good shows to choose from . Oh, and he is a descendent of Mark Twain, with his name being Samuel Clemens. I wish I could have a great writer like that in my line. It came from his father's side. He is not a fantastic dancer or singer, but he performs in local theater and is above par than most!
