I am impressed by your life story.The fact that you are even still alive is proof of how strong a person you are. I sincerely hope that your brave endeavours to find your sexuality, will lead you to someone who loves you for who you are and will unfurl the true beautiful you to yourself and this world to share. You are so courageous. I wish you well.

I understand so much more than you will ever realize...my parents were wealthy and my entire family treated me like an outcast because they thought I had it so easy...all I ever wanted was their time and never really got it. I never knew you were adopted, that must have been so hard on you to find out, but yet maybe also a relief in a way? My parents told me from day one that I had been abandoned at birth, so it was something I always knew.
I would like to just say "I'm sorry" although its not enough...I am sorry for us not being friends in school, God knows I wouldn't have let anyone pick on you. That is one good thing about my parents; any suspensions for defending someone who needed it was always treated with a celebration. :-)
I am glad you are happy now and finding yourself; pretending to be something you are not is a waste, as you and I have already discussed. Thank you for all your posts, its good to know we are not alone. <3

I was using 10.10 since it came out and had it oh so perfectly customized. I did a clean install of 11.04 and so far have loved it and no major glitches. Only thing I changed was I can't use Unity at all, sorry Unity devs but I hate it. Other then that, it's been stable for me.

Found you through Atheist Nexus. Looking forward to reading more of your blog. Don't feel bad about not posting regularly. I'm worse. I go months sometimes between posts. I know, it's the one thing they say you shouldn't do if you want regular readers.

Gary/Jennifer, if I had known that you were struggling so much while we were in school, I assure you I would have been a good friend to you...you were just so quiet...I was actually abandoned as a baby and according to my doctors, it is where my personality disorder and Asperger's (which I have given to 2 of my children) comes from. I just don't belong anywhere, or with anyone (except for my kids) and it's very lonely. My husband tries but he doesn't understand what it's like to have no idea who you are, and what your purpose is, if there even is one. I am so sorry about what you have gone through and I am happy you have found where you belong. It will take some getting used to to remember the name change, so please don't be offended if I get it wrong. Best of luck!

There was never a better, kinder woman then our beloved Zenta Petersons. She was like a mother to us when we weren’t able to go back across the country to see our own mothers. We have been very close to her for almost 18 years and she has told us so many wonderful stories from where she was from in Latvia and her life as a child growing up there.

Her and her husband, Peter Petersons, came to the United States in the early 60s. Peter and her started out working for a family as a live in cook and house keeper. Then Peter started working his way up to working at Boeing. He retired from that, and Zenta lost him to natural causes over 10 years ago and she still hung in there. She had her only family here in the church that she and Peter attended. She is going to be missed by many, many, of her friends that surrounded her on a daily bases .She was the best cook too, she always made extra on cakes and for all of our birthdays and Christmas she always baked some for us.

A few times throughout the 18 years, she skipped our rent as a Christmas gift. She even lowered our rent a couple of times when I lost my job. Nobody could have asked for a better family then what she made us feel like. The day when we lost her was the worst day of our lives. She watched my son grow up from a little child when we first moved in; all the way up to the time he became a man and had a family of his own. She loved our two grand-daughters as if they had been her own that she never had. Around a year and a half ago, she accepted our daughter (Jennifer Basham) that came up here to live with us from back in West Virginia. She took her in as family too.

She was always there through all our good and bad times. I remember a few years back when my husband had a stroke and passed out in the floor, she came and took us to the emergency room and she stayed there with me in the waiting room all that night. They took my husband in and he was there in I.C.U. for three days, and she was right by his side. We would also run errands on occasion for her too.

Now the world seems to be so lifeless without her. Her spirit and her love will keep us going, but it will be very hard. We know that she is in a better place, alongside her husband. And they both are telling us, to hold our heads up high, for it was there time to be with the LORD. He is now their family.

My husband Paul took it very hard, because he had seen her through her window from the back porch and she was sitting on her couch as if she sat there to rest and went to sleep, but to never again wake up again. It will be very hard for him to get that image out of his mind. When the fireman showed up to get into the apartment, only then they confirmed to us of her passing within the last 24 hours. They told all of us, the other tenants and neighbors next door.

On this day, February 17th 2010 at around 7pm. She had passed away around evening time on February 16th 2010. We will be getting more information as soon as they get it to pass on to us. I will go now...

If you knew Zenta please read these and tell us some of your touching stories of happiness that you where able to share with her.

ZENTA PETERSONS MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND TAKE MANY WALKS WITH PETER THROUGHOUT THE HEAVENS.

I think it takes a lot of courage to decide to move forward into new frontiers, but i think that doing so helps us sometimes! You are not alone in any parts of your life! I may not know you personally but i can say reading this probably gives me a damn good idea about who you are and what your struggles are/have been! I wish you all the luck in your new found self, and moving forward! and more over getting to keep up with it on here :D

Re: Progress Update

Your post is well into the past, and I'm sure you've made plenty of progress since then, but I just wanted to chime in and say that it takes courage to do all the things that a trans person needs to do. You're showing courage in coming out, and in talking to the people who can help you. Every trans person is different, so you're the only one who can say "if I do such-and-so, that will make my life better".

Just keep having courage and take things one day, one challenge at a time.
