Nolan Mack:
I need to talk to you.

Nolan Mack:
I need to talk to you about something, Dad, okay? And I need you to listen, 'cause I know somewhere in there, you can hear me.

Nolan Mack:
I wanna talk about that time we went to the beach.

Nolan Mack:
Summer of 1965, I think it was.

Nolan Mack:
We checked into this little motel.

Nolan Mack:
12 years old.

Nolan Mack:
You, me and Mom.

Nolan Mack:
If you had any idea what a journey that was.

Nolan Mack:
Still sticks with me to this day. Ridiculous.

Nolan Mack:
Something happened that summer, Dad.

Nolan Mack:
At first, I couldn't figure it out. I didn't want to.

Nolan Mack:
But I knew. I knew that all the wishing and praying in the world couldn't change the fact that I was gay.

Nolan Mack:
I didn't do anything about it.

Nolan Mack:
I didn't tell you... or Mom or anyone. It was my secret.

Nolan Mack:
And suddenly I'm 60 years old. It's like I'm still there, like nothing happened.

Nolan Mack:
Like I'm still waiting for something I felt was promised to me that day, something that never came, and I'm angry about it.

Nolan Mack:
And I'm still sitting on that beach, and I'm still 12 years old, and nothing's changed, and I'm still sorry about it.

Nolan Mack:
That was some summer, huh, Dad?
