Two Years on *T* Anniversary

[SirTrey]

Well, two years on T as of today (or yesterday, not sure, I started on Feb. 29 and it's not Leap Year)....:) Feeling great, looking back over the last two years...I really feel like I am THERE....No longer transitioning, I'm done...Tomorrow will be four weeks since My chest surgery and that's great, too...Looking good and healing well....That makes the two year on T mark so much better....Waiting now for My new passport and the change to be made with social security....Driver's License is already changed....In love with a wonderful woman who sees only the person I am NOW....and loves Me for who I am....So....tonight, I watch My Cavs play, I drink a beer....and I celebrate....Thank you to all of you who have been there for Me during the worst of it (when I lost My family, when I was depressed, and when I just really needed friends)....This board was pivotal in My making it through all of this....Best folks in the world are right here, IMHO....:hugs::thumbsup::drink::D

That's so wonderful Trey,

It does seem it take forever to "Get There"...and happy to see you feel that you have arrived..!!!
Congrats on your anniversary!! Woo Hoo!!.. :drink::Party2:

:hugs:

That's great news Trey. I am sure the rest of your life will go just as well.

[Faith_G]

That's cool. :hugs:

Posts like yours are really important because they show people who are just starting transition, or bogged down in the middle, that there's an end point and it's pretty sweet. :happy:

I'm so happy for you Trey. Congratulations on making it. Thank you for sharing your trials and triumphs. Speaking just for me I know you've been an inspiration - If Trey can do it anyone can do it :) . Seriously, my best wishes to you as you begin your tedious existance of a mere ordinary male. :battingeyelashes:

:hugs::love::drink:

Wow, funny how the time goes by eh? Whenever I remember guys on this board starting T I always feel like it was pretty much yesterday.. and here I am 3/4 of the way through my own third year on T. Imagine the head-trip of looking back one day and 2 years has turned into 20! Congrats man.

[Tamara Croft]

Wow, it's been 2 years already :eek: and just to think, you started your journey here with us, how great is that :D And of course I'm a wonderful woman :heehee:

Thanks so much, everyone....:) Yeah, feels good, I really do feel like I've come a long way....and it really IS in no small part because of the people on this board....I have found true friends here, lots of good advice, and a common bond that you can really only find with people who actually "get" you because they experience a lot of the same things or have partners who do....Like any other family, we bicker sometimes....but, when it comes down to it, we pull together as a community....This is the only board I have ever been on with this kind of vibe....and this sense of community....I just hope everyone on here takes a second every now and then to really appreciate this board and the truly unique people on it....and the real value of what it means to have a place to go when you are feeling really alone, as so many of us do at times....I just want you all to know I genuinely DO appreciate you all....and thank you for your place in My life...There were times when I was really alone in this and I felt like the whole world was mad at Me...especially early in transition....and you were all here for Me....:hugs: Just know I will never, ever forget that....:love::D:drink:

Trey it is good to hear of your triumph and the lady in your life. So here's to you buccaneer, drink harty a few tankards of the finest ale, pinch the butt of the gal next to you (discreetly man, cheeeeees) and smile the other way. Heal quickly and thank you for being a role model for us girls also.

Huggs and a small pinch, Teri.

[SirTrey]

Awwww......Way to make Me smile, Teri Jean....:) Was a good day....I got an email that My passport has been processed and mailed (I am guessing I will get it tomorrow, I paid for overnight service) and I got My SS designation changed this afternoon....That was a process, the guy who did it had NEVER done one (and he told Me he worked there for 8 years)....but, he and the supervisor got it figured out....and he showed Me two printouts...One was the printout before the change, the other was a printout after (which is what a future employer will see when they get My SS info) and it was right....:) Finally....yeah, I'm in a good mood...:D :drink::drink::drink:

Trey,

Congratulations an finding what so many people (normal or otherwise) never seem to find..... the tremendous pleasure of just being who you are. It doesn't hurt to find acceptance from another either.

Family comes in many forms and as long as you have one, the rest does not matter. It is a shame that natural parents are too hung up on something else to realize they are missing so much when they turn away from their children. It really confuses me and makes me sad.

Then seemingly out of nowhere, someone adopts you (formally or otherwise) because they understand and value what a family means.

I am thrilled that you have found this and now have crossed that line into the future as a whole person. It makes me smile down deep inside just to know another has made it.

I am inspired by you and those like you here and elsewhere. You all really are my heros

Veronica
