Happiest Almost Halloween!
I just read comments that have been posted to me....I really touched by Transversegirl! I had a beautiful cry after I read your post. You all have inspired me to write more and to know that what I say is making a difference! I am sooooo proud of all of you who are brave enough to make choices that are so difficult in today's world. I know in my heart by making these choices the world will have to listen to the transgender community!! As a mom it was no easy task to be supportive at the beginning of my son's journey, but I had to get aboard the train very quickly so I could be along for the ride! I also encourage all parents to help your children with health care and surgery issues. I was so afraid of bad choices that would be made if we did not offer to help. It was truly the most loving thing we have done, being included in the surgery and after surgery care was hard, I think I was in a walking coma the day of the surgery! But how fun was it to get my first "It's A BOY" card from my sons room mates! I still have that card posted in my sewing room where I see it everyday! I have never cooked so much as that 10 days!! Breakfast lunch and dinner for a houseful... What a joy every night to hear every ones stories and be part of those in transition! I would not trade that time with my child for anything on this earth!
Moms out there... Cherish what you have, not what you don't have!! Look for the beauty and love in your child, believe me it is there! Be proud of the bravery of your child and be a voice for change.
Warmest Hugs and Kisses to All
Your Jewish Mother!!

ReplyDeletethank u so much for this blog...my son told me about this...i am also the mother of a "ftm" so its nice to have this...my son will be 27 next month and it has not been an easy journey by no means...only in the past probably 4 yrs have i gotten support frm my husband only due to the fact that my son didnt think it would be accepted by his father and didnt want anyone to know...therefore he tried the gay/lesbian route which along came the depression of trying to be something your not...i am not going to lie and say it has been easy for me because it hasnt, but when i look how happy he is that makes up for it...there are still family members who dont understand or who dont want to understand so its not just brought up...anyways, thanks again for this !
