We all have significant days in our journey that we will always remember, like where we were when the Twin Towers were hit. Well I have the day I went out as a woman the first time, the day I told my wife, day I started hormone treatments, the day I told my brother and sister, and now today, the day I told my daughters.
So, like my brother and sister I drafted a thourogh e-mail..though not excessive detail. Then I sent them a txt message to be a little more personal, telling them that an important e-mail was coming and if they didn't get to read it right away, not to worry because I was ok.
Then is was an anxious night waiting to hear something, anything, back. Finally, about 10:00 tonight my oldest daughter txt me. Since that first txt, and we are still txting 2 hrs later, she has asked for a picture, wanted me to friend her on my FB page and geneally has been amazing. She's asked some really good quesitons, wants to understand and most important, still loves me and wants to continue our realtionship. I couldn't ask for more. She also told me her sister is sick and that's probably why I haven't heard from her, but she thinks she will be ok too. She's told my son-in-law and he's cool as well. What an amazing family.
So, anxious moments, another day in history and looking good so far.
I am sincerely,
Laura Catherine

Deletethat... would definitely be dangerous in the little town i live in and my hometown in nc. about 6 years ago... my last time in a church, i took the family. my wife had very short hair. we sat through the sermon and afterwards people in the congregation started ridiculing her. it was so bad the preacher apologized. in my hometown the preacher wouldn't have apologized and we would have had death threats. that seems to be the christian answer to most things they don't like in rural nc, death threats.
