Oh, my!  I am glad I am not wearing mascara right now.  That is beautiful!

I'm so happy for you both and so grateful we got the chance to meet!

My wife wrote me a love poem!

"TRANSITIONAL LOVE

She hasn't always been a woman.
He was once the man I loved.
It's really quite confusion this un-expecting love.

It must be a heart thing.
My eyes declared it wrong.
But there she stood declaring ... he was She?

I have always loved her.
This woman inside of him.
But realization that he's left us... is a grieving.

Change can be a hard thing
but in some form it comes to all.
Our transitions have defined in us completeness.

Thirty years of life and love.
Three of extreme confusing change
But love has never left us, life is different but still the same.

It must be a heart thing.
My mind is filled with pride.
She stands with arms around me asking to be my bride.

We are now two old women
With less time then before.
But the plan is to live heart-to-heart until God does close this door."


Oh but I do love her so!!!!

Tia Anne
Absolutely Beautiful!!

My big happy for today is that my drivers license is now here, and it's the right me on it, and not that uncle Fester looking mug that I used to wear.

Congratulations, Artesia! That was a special moment for me, too. It hasn't been all that long; I still take it out and look at my name, from time to time. Isn't it strange that such a seemingly small thing can have so much meaning?

My big happy for today was at the post office. I get all my mail there, so I'm there fairly often. There is one particular clerk who was always nice to me, from the time I first got my box; she always called me by name and had a nice word to say to me. When I started transitioning, I could tell she was uncomfortable, which was sad. Well, today, I got in her line, and the first thing she said to me was to address me as "ma'am."  ;D

Well, I had my first date in 20 years today! It was with a lovely trans woman from KC. I'll spill the details over in my thread.  :D

Oh, Sarah, I'm so happy for you.

Next to that, my happy for today is nothing to shout about. In my part-time job, my relief is a really unpleasant person. She doesn't speak to me when she comes in; I've often thought she hates me. Sometimes, I still think she does. I felt like quitting last week, because of her. Well, this morning, with the time change (it's a graveyard shift job), there was so much I didn't get done; and I was miserable anticipating her attitude toward me. Then, someone else showed up -- someone nice, who I hadn't seen in a while. She made the shift-change so much better. To people who don't do shift work, it may be difficult to understand how much of a difference this can make. Believe me, it's amazing how much of a difference it can make.

So, I'm happy today because I got to finish my shift positively, for the first time in weeks.

I'm also happy today because one of my co-workers complimented me on my name (which is different from my name here).  :)

And I'm happy because I'm a girl. I don't know how many here are like me, not knowing until late in life who they really were; I feel so grateful to have learned the truth about myself, so blessed.

Finally -- and this is going to sound sooo sappy -- I'm happy for Susan's Place. I wish I weren't living paycheck-to-paycheck. When I get some free money, I'm going to give Susan some. I promise.

Sarah:  That is very neat, I am so very happy for you.   Obviously we are waiting impatiently for more details... and of course a picture if you feel comfortable posting one... if not, that is OK too!

Ann Marie, I am happy that you had a more pleasant shift change than normal.  Little bits of interpersonal dynamics can really make or break a day.

There are lots and lots of us "late bloomers".  We might even be in the majority here on Susan's.  You have plenty of company.  And I think most of us will share your sentiment. :)

(Well yesterday.....)

My GCS surgeon, Dr Rachel Bluebond-Langner, asked me (and my wife) to be part of an interview and photo shoot for NYU to take the medical part out of their transgender patients to see us as people instead of just patients for a project. There was a makeup artist there and both my wife and I had fun with it and we were interviewed on camera for about 20 minutes and had a full photo shoot. Some really nice "movie star quality" (according to my wife and photographer) photos came out. As soon as I get them I'm going to have to post them :) We get to keep a copy of all the photos for personal use and we get a copy of the video when it comes out. Of course, we had to have a group picture with Dr Rachel Bluebond-Langner for the occasion.

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

Thank you Kathy and Ashley,

It is a big milestone for me and I really look forward to moving on with my journey....but hey, I am only two and a half years old, I kind of need to figure out where to go from here.....I love it, at nearly seventy I am trying to figure out what I want to do/be when I grow up! I will be looking for suggestions from my Susan's family

Tia Anne
You're such an inspirational example of what's possible. I had almost given up hope, fearing that, at just having turned 63, I had waited too long. You're so beautiful and seeing you and reading what you've written gives me a renewed sense of desire to be the woman I am, once and for all, no matter what. I want to go to Howard Brown here in Chicago this week and take the first HRT steps. Thank you, Anne, for being you.

Hugs and kisses,
Sarah

Awe Sarah, your going to make me blush, such kind words. But actually, for me and maybe most of us here it is but a choice of letting go and enjoying the ride where ever it takes us or suffer until we die. My partner and I have set our goal to be two of the craziest most eccentric old ladies you will ever get the chance to meet.........and we are well on our way to meeting that goal.

Today is the six month mark since GCS! We celebrated with pedicures and out fancy for dinner. Being able to celebrate something that I never thought could ever happen is awesome.
