Ya my sister, though, It was just a phase, she spoke. She called one day and said that she and her husband were coming for a visit. I always loved their visits. I told her over the phone that I had started full time. I really don't have any idea what went through her mind except shock. She knocked and I opened the door and she spoke three words that will remain etched in my subconscious memory to the very soul and if it was to the soul then be it, it will probably haunt me into several future reincarnations in time. The words were simply "Oh my God!" she dropped a couple of bags at the entrance to my apartment then turned and left.
My brother in-law who actually was a truly a nice person tried to call her back but she left and he turned to look at me and shrugged his shoulders and followed the way she had gone, but not before I had a long look at his face, there was no malice in that face just a hurt disappointed look. He would have accepted my transitioning, so much for women being more accepting, well maybe for the best part and I can only pray so. The girls at work were quite supportive. I had already gone to visit them at their trailer in a trailer park shortly before I went full time and had already told both of them what my plans were including when I was going to begin doing full time.
?
Well I try to not think about it much. That was 7 years ago and I have accepted their decision to not visit or even write any letters to me, that is their choice and that's ok with me now. I'm a big girl, I can look after myself but sometimes all I can do is to let the tears run down both cheeks
