Melody Maia is no longer a username I made up one day. She is now officially, legally ME! I can't believe it!

*Dances the Happy Dance with the one, only and true Melody Maia*

Congratulations!  I am sure that it's a wonderful feeling!!!

YAY!!! I am sooo happy for you.
For so many years you walked around with the wrong name. Now you have a proper womans name. The lie is untold.

Absolutely fantastic, I'm happy for you

Congratulations, must feel good now

It still hasn't sunk in yet. I am sitting in my local Social Security Administration Office in a bit of a daze! It will finally be real when I get my new drivers license and I see it printed next to a photo of me.

Pleased to 'officially' meet you Melody   it's a very pretty name

Dance, Maia dance! It's going to be amazing!

Congratulations Ms Maia, you must be SO happy!

Siobhan.

Congratulations, darling lady.  Now there is no denying who you are, in any way, shape, or fashion.  When you say to someone "My name is Melody" that is EXACTLY what you mean.

Thank you ladies. To paraphrase my sig, every missing piece of me, I have found in Melody.

Way to go Melody - I do recall that that's a nice feeling.

Ace - the song-and-dance is ended, but the Melody lingers on xx

@Yoxi: good one.

I do want to add the following in honor of him though...

Domingo: 2/10/71-4/7/11. You protected me and kept me safe. You gave me great friends, made me a part of a special family and a son. You faced the world when I could not. Yes, you were sometimes angry and stand-offish, but you were also funny and loyal. In the end, you sacrificed yourself so that I might live. Thank you and Godspeed.

Woohoo Melody. Congratulations. I mean this respectfully RIP Domingo and thank you for protecting her.
Hugs
Beth

I did a similar thing when mine came through.  I posted an honest to gods obituary on my old MySpace Page.

RIP Domingo.  We will care for Melody now.  She is a guild-sister now.

I am so happy for you!

When you go in for your drivers license, get two copies.

You'll end up staring the print off the first one! 

Congratulations!

-Sandy

Thanks ladies. Your words have really touched me. Sandy, you never cease to make me laugh and make me cry (in a good way).

I didn't get much sleep and was running on adrenaline. I am starting to crash and get emotional. I need the release as I didn't allow it earlier in order to get stuff done and not ruin my makeup! LOL. I haven't had a chance to be still and think about what I just did and how it will affect my life, but it is starting to sink in.
