Hi All,
I've been around but haven't wrote for awhile so I though I would tell you how things are going.
I had a good morning with my wife we share some feeling and talked about our love for each other. She really still crazy for this crazy person you know as Jillieann. I just hope that soon she will accept me completely so that we can go out together as females and just enjoy each other for who we are.
Anyway I have enjoyed going back to the beauty salon and had another female haircut as a woman. You know how women just chat away at each other well that is what we did while I was getting it cut and it was wonderful.
Last time I was dressed as a woman and was at the mall I thought I was made. I went into a bathroom to check my wig and two young women were standing in front of the mirrors. I was brushing my wig when one young woman said,"Oh! That is good." My heart skipped a beat. Then I realized she was talking about my hair and I was faltered. Later on that day a young clerk said she would like to get her hair done like my hair. That just made my day.
I went to my second son's house for Easter and enjoyed being with two of my grandchildren.
While I was there my very observance son and daughter in-law notice traces of clear nail polish, my female shaped eyebrows, altitude change and decided that something was a foot in my life. Yesterday I answered an email he had sent me ask what was wrong and I told him that I was transgender. He wrote back asking a lot of question but ended by saying that he loved me and won't continue to love me. I am really blessed by his response. Today I wrote my first born son and told him that I was transgender.
I'm waiting for his response now.

Best of luck, Jillieann.
It can be hard on children, particularly teens and older, to learn that Dad is becoming a woman. If - hopefully not, but if - one of your children goes off the deep end and cuts you off, don't lose help. Evually, many of them grow up and realize two things: (1) it's not about them, and (2) it's better to have a weird parent than a dead parent.
I didn't see my 30 year old baby for 8 years. We met for lunch at her mother's home in December. My husband and I hope to see her tonight at a 100th birthday party for a friend. Hopefully, she won't avoid us.
Again, best wishes. And remember that they can find support at PFLAG. Many chapters have a Transgender Coordinator (TCord). **Check out the PFLAG TNET page at www.pflag.org .

I meant ... don't lose hope.
Wish I could type.
Welcome back, Jillieann. I'm glad things are going well for you.
