To the special people

You never know how special someone is until they leave, I have many many friends all of which I often check on to see how they are doing just to be sure they are happy. Riftgrl was a great friend, she inspired more than I had expected. Met Lori through Riftgrl and was going to do an interview but we never connected so we just read and commented on each others blogs. I miss her today, Riftgrl (Leah) was truly a great friend. Now Lori is leaving and again I am faced with the tears of watching her leave. There is nothing I can do but just give my love, smile and wave good bye.

Someday I will hook up with each of the people that have left my circle just to see how they made it out there. It was a pleasure to watch them progress into the women and men they have become.

I try to support everyone I really do and it gives me such a wonderful warmth in doing so. My friends say I have a huge heart and at times I can agree but when I see friends leave I often ask myself what could I have done to keep them here. Which I know in my heart isn't possible.

So as Lori packs up and walks out of the picture, I can give her a virtual hug and wish her the very best. I could say our circle is getting smaller but that isn't true, with each new morning a new transgender pops into the picture.

With my hand out waiting, ready to show them the way and offer my support.
