I am a 69 year old non transitioning transgender woman. That means that out in public I cross-dress as a man. I have collar length thick brown hair with natural streaks of grey. Two of our grandchildren go to a grade school 10 miles from where we live. I attended the school's "Grandparents" day alone because my wife isn't retired yet As the grandparents entered the school two students were passing out leaflets explaining the program the kids would put on in the gym. At the entrance to the gym two students were handing each grandmother a single rose. They gave one to me even though I was in drab with no makeup. Sitting in the bleachers holding my rose made this grandmother very happy. Sometimes life hands us a rose............................Leanne
