Open Letter To Susan's Place
First to Susan, thank you for creating a safe community of support and comfort.
You played an important part in the first years of Nero's transition. Thank you
for believing in him enough to see past his mistakes. You trusted him, saw his
talent and allowed him to rise to a position of prominence. He did not take this
role lightly. He strived to maintain within Susan's Place a mission of integrity
and nonjudgement.
To those of you who loved him, you know who you are, believe me, he loved
you too. I understand you are grieving, as am I. Many of you spent countless
hours talking with him. He needed you and you were there. You have my
deepest gratitude.
Thanks to those of you who reached out to me personally. Your words of love for
him and support for me, got me through some of the darkest hours of unbearable
sorrow.
To everyone at Susan's Place, Nero cared and supported you with his beautiful
heart. I know many of your names and struggles, because he asked me to pray for
you. I feel that I understand a little about the pain you face just trying to be who
you really are. I continue to pray for you and hope my support means something
in some small way.
I can find no words to describe the loss of my son. My only solace is in
knowing that he is free, and I do feel him with me at times.
I love you all, because he did.
Nero's Mom
