Did get in touch with a friend of mine from Ireland last night. Her name is Lisa and we have been best friends since August of 1995 with a tight bond. Her parents took me in as an exchange student and met her first by her parents followed by her 2 older brothers. They welcomed me in with open arms. Luckily Lisa and I were in the same first class in school. She was a great help with me getting used to things meeting her other good friends whom also welcomed me in with open arms. We mentioned a few things and she loved my new bob cut. Nothing has changed with us, She was the one that got me to open up and seen I was bottling things up before I came out first. Lisa took it good after I came out that I was going to transition to her. Shown her support very well, One was buy and send me my first pair of 4 inch heels. Finally mentioned this for next year, me coming to visit in June and we are on the same page on this and going to plan it out.
