Back again for now

[Tiffany Elise]

  I'm both new ond old I guess.

  I left Susan's due to health reasons and the pain of knowing I cannot transition. It was getting pretty grievous and I wasn't really expecting to be alive much longer. The doctors are checking for caner and all sorts of stuff I don't understand using those fifty dollar college words.

  Tinkerbell contacted me (she's such a sweetheart!) and told me she was concerned. That was such a blessing. Compassion doesn't exactly run rampant anymore now of days and it's even worse for trans folk.

  You all have been on my mind while I was gone as sometimes when people have a common bond they become a family that the rest of the world and sometimes blood family just can't understand.

  I enjoy being here and love all of you. We share something so sweet and precious it's a shame the straight people can't be a partaker of it. They just don't know what they are missing out on. In a sense our pain, frustration, worries and fears are a blessing in disguise as it gives an outlook on life that many will never experience.

  I am surprised I am still alive and I don't really plan to post much until I get over my rollercoaster of emotions. That just makes for bad posting and brings people down.

  This I do know though. The Lord has never let me down and I still believe that he will heal me. But if he doesn't, I at least feel confident that the trials and tribulations of this present world will have nothing to be compared with the joy ahead!

  May God bless you.

Welcome back stranger!

I missed ya!  I'm so happy that you're back.

I am surprised I am still alive and I don't really plan to post much until I get over my rollercoaster of emotions. That just makes for bad posting and brings people down.

You have to focus on your health for now, keep in mind that you're here for a reason and although at times you may think that nothing makes sense, the fact that you're still here is a blessing for your loved ones and all those people who appreciate you.

Take your time on the posting thing and you know how to reach me.

May God bless you too.

Hi Tiffany,
Glad you have come back.
Your words:

In a sense our pain, frustration, worries and fears are a blessing in disguise as it gives an outlook on life that many will never experience.

I so agree Tiff, we learn much from all that we go thru if we have the right mindset. Compassion and understanding being at the top of the list.
Yes:

The Lord has never let me down and I still believe that he will heal me. But if he doesn't, I at least feel confident that the trials and tribulations of this present world will have nothing to be compared with the joy ahead!

These same thoughts keep me going when I get down or depressed.
It's so great to hear from you again.
Hang in there girl.
Oh and ya got to love Tinkerbell she the greatist.
God Bless,

Hang in there, Tiffany!

My spouse was diagnosed with a fast growing cancer in her breast.  It had moved into her lympf nodes (7 out of the 15 examined).  She was given a 30% chance of surviving, even with 6 months of chemotherapy and an estrogen blocker (it was an estrogen receptive tumotr).  This was a very tough time for the whole family.

That was 14 years ago.  She credits her Christianity and her first grandchild for bringing her to the cure.  So, remember, there's always hope.

Come on back, we miss you!
