I...I was in Cammie's position twenty years ago. I didn't quite phrase things like Cammie did. What great courage she has. My mum didn't want to hear of it. She too knew all of my life but never felt she could help so she chose to ignore / deny for over a decade until i was in my early 20s and just said, "Mum, this is me."<br /><br />From my own life and the lives of some friends i have noticed that the earlier in life one transitions the harder it is at first but conversely the better the life-long outcome is.<br /><br />You will find that different bishops will respond just like everyone else, quite varied. I am certain my bishop knew, thought i myself never outright told him. I was subtly shunned and after years of it one day just walked away and never went back. Not one friend ever called to ask why or see how i was. I was very hurt and i have made the mistake of letting that hurt taint my life.<br /><br />About a decade ago i worked with a friend on translating and fitting to the existing music a French hymn. I also wrote a 4th verse for it. It had limited circulation from what i know, though it was to be published in a future edition of the hymn book last i knew. Below is a link to an image of the sheet music.<br /><br />http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn435/jessicaah09/omc2.png?t=1245411021<br /><br />I wish your entire family the faith and courage to persevere and love.<br /><br />viva la vida<br /><br />JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661481157956766540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756568649265082125.post-54625420151340947352009-06-18T09:02:31.414-05:002009-06-18T09:02:31.414-05:00you are an awesome parent.

It's unfortunate to me that there are people who only choose to accept and interact with people who aren't different than them, then choose to discriminate against what they don't understand - unwilling to explore the variation and diversity the world has to offer and the amazing people and experiences that entails. <br /><br />You're very strong and amazing, and remember, always, that Cameron is very lucky to have you. :]Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789518319932340646noreply@blogger.com
