In my travels, I have been blessed to have made some unbelievable friends. Many of these friends have evolved out of my transgendered experiences but most importantly, the "T" starts to matter less and less as friendship takes hold.
The following is a comment I recently received from a wonderful friend. She is a natal woman, on the youngish side (twenty-something). It happens we have travelled very similar educational pathways from middle school on up through college (hum "it's a small world" about now). Anyway, she has been on vacation and I sent her a quick "merry Christmas" message and received the following as part of the reply. Words such as these are truly inspiring and I'm sure they will go far to help keep me on that middle path that I have carved out for myself. It's a path that is far from easy but is no less valid of a place to be.
So inspiring that I thought I'd share.
And one last thing (especially since I'm actually being good with my emails and not waiting to just see you)... please please keep your spirits high. I personally think you are so lucky have so many opportunities to be so many roles not everyone can experience in a life time.. A husband, a father, a mother in ways, a business man, a business woman, a gal, a guy, and a special friend to many as either Sara or as ######. Each role having pros, cons, and lessons only one can learn from experience in that life. Although you may feel torn, I truly think this a blessing that you do it all and try your best at being everything....Your wife seems like quite the lady to set aside her fears to benefit you. You must really have a special family.
