Rogina, if and when you do have someone in your family that is near death, please do make a post about it so we can slam you with transgender issues and be totally unconcerned about anything else going on at the time, including your feelings and emotional state of mind. At least elephants are smart enough to figure out when there is a good time and a bad time to do something ...
Ceera, you handled things very diplomatically with your sister. Congratulations on small steps forward.
