thank you thank you thank you
for the heartening welcomes
appreciated also are the "accolades"
for being a cool mom, altho i have to
say in all sincerety it is sad to realize
that what should be a parents' first
concern in regards to a child....
their well being and happiness...
too often is disregarded because of
clinging to a notion or perception
that people have a correct definition
of what it is to be
normal....
my child tells me of those on forums, in his community of support,
whose parents refuse to accept their child's "questioning", being
dismissive or hysterical, or hateful and rejecting....
maybe having had to stand at the foot of an emergency room gurney,
seeing 11 leads, lines and tubes coming out of "his" 4 YO dying body
and watching 7 medical personnel enacting a choreography of disciplined
precision and skill and hearing thru a disbelieving haze
" no breath sounds.... life support...3 rounds and no response"...
standing there praying to be spared having to know what
life would be without this treasured child.... maybe that made
hearing the words " i need to be a boy" just part of loving the miracle that is my son....
it is unthinkable on my part to do otherwise
dunno... just seems so incredibly wrong to
think love is more or less than what it is...
freely given without condition
my heart is with all who know it to be otherwise
