42. Sending hugs and comfort your way

Apr 2024

I hope you find peace and memories of shared love and joy, but I know it will take time.

My daughter is married to a woman. I remember, before she came out (I thought her whole life she was a lesbian but it's not my place to label her), she had a group of lesbian friends who were disowned by their religious parents. It broke my heart that they lost their families because of who they are, and i honestly couldn't wrap my mind around the stupidity. But I never knew then, and still don't know, what to say except that your parents are idiots and I suspect they lost more than you did.

I'm impressed by your courage and grace and hope you'll find healing soon.
