This isn't really a question or anything but I just had to share with guys (&gals) who really understand where my joy is coming from! I mean my non trans mates could feel my happiness but not like y'all can..

I just had a trip home with the family for Easter etc and met my niece for the first time and attended her Christening. My brother a couple of months ago asked me to be her god parent. I didn't quite know if he meant god father or where this was going to go but of course I said yes.

I still wasn't sure until we got to the church and the god mother rocked up which meant I became my little niece's god father yesterday much to my delight! Although there were slip ups with pronouns over the break, most of the time people got it right, shook my hand where appropriate and I got to be known as Uncle Jay to everyone publically for the first time since coming out ;D

The bit that made me most chuffed was when my brother thanked me for being god father, shook my hand and kind of bro hugged me. We haven't really talked about my transition like ever (I'm over a year on T lol) so this for him and me was a big deal! Even my dad has stopped expecting a kiss on the cheek when we say goodbye!!

Very proud of my family, despite the slip ups!! They really do try :)

Awesome news, Jay.  Or should we be calling you "Godfather". 




Oh and it is fine for a son to kiss his father on the cheek, when saying good bye.

IDK , Janet. I sorta liked the Uncle Jay part.  More used in everyday family chatter.

Thanks heaps for the kind words everyone! Still feeling pretty good about it haha!! ;D

As for the godfather - yeah I feel the need to use phrases like 'I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse' and 'sleeps with the fishes'.. lmao!

I'm a very luck guy all round. Didn't realise how good it would feel, or how right, to hear Uncle instead of the alternative!

I only hope everyone can find the happiness and acceptance I have been blessed with.

Your attitude to life is responsible for a great deal of the happiness and acceptance.

Your posts are always worth reading.

Hi  Aussie Jay,

You are obviously a marvellous and very loved man in your family. I am so proud for you and so thankful that there are families that are loving.  I also have a sneaking suspicion that there is one young lady who is going to have the worlds most doting and loving godfather.

Love to her, to you and to your family

Cindy

Thanks JohnR for the kind words - means a lot. I felt kind of like I was bragging, if it came across that way I do apologise, but in honesty I just needed to share these feelings with people who would truly appreciate and understand how I am feeling!

Cindy thank you and love to you and your family! You're absolutely right on that point - she's such a precious little princess already!

I truly hope that like me everyone here finds the support they need :)
