Your son seems like a wonderful person to see and welcome the real you in such a validating way. I’m so glad you had/have him and that you pursued what was right for you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am so glad you kept listening to that knowing voice inside & kept honoring him, in spite of all outer obstacles. Your son & Alex are sweethearts.

It was my total honor to listen to you from the front row. I brought along three good friends. The furthest from me passed a tissue to the second furthest. The second furthest passed the tissue to the friend sitting next to me. The friend next to me gave me a tissue because I was moved to tears when you spoke. Thank you world, for Will, and for Will to choose himself. Will, you’re a mensch.

Thank you, Spence! It was wonderful to see you and your friends on the front row! I told the two interpreters I was so pleased and honored.

Our stories have similarities. It's is these recurring similarities in stories from folks I never knew that validate my experiences. I cried while reading. Thanks for sharing Cuz,

I'm glad it resonated with you, but I'm sorry it did. :/ It helps so much to know you're not alone.
