I have to admit, at the time, I was in total
shock. I thought my world was over how could I ever face the embarrassment?
I was at a complete loss. How on earth could my brother not want to be my
brother anyone? Why would he want to change who he is? God had made him a
man and he should stay that way.
As the weeks went on, I did more investigating
on the net and at the library. I began to understand that what he was going
through was not intended to upset the family but, rather, to make himself
more complete.
We have grown so close over the last few
months, and I would not change a thing. She is the happiest I have ever seen
her. I am proud to walk beside her and call her my sister. I love the new
person she has become.
I wish that all families out there could
find it in their heart to go to the next level of understanding and realize
that your son/daughter/brother/sister or whatever are just following their
dreams and not making choices to hurt you. Stand beside them. Be proud of
their strength, their courage to make the changes, and just support
them.
Well, I think I have said all I wanted to.
I just thought that it would be nice for you all to hear a positive story
for a change. I love my sister and I look forward to having many more rewarding
years with her!!
Sincerely,
Tracy
