Now I don't know what exactly AGD's letter said, I do know that AGD was impressed with your version as a good starting point so I like to think you indirectly helped, so you deserve a bit of credit too in helping out.fan of caseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476828667893704794.post-83681375626291383992011-01-12T01:16:04.502-05:002011-01-12T01:16:04.502-05:00I'm a little late seeing this, but that is soo...I'm a little late seeing this, but that is soooooooo great your parents were so supportive!!!

You make struggles in life appear beautiful and essential, and hope like aging wine - it gets better the longer you keep it.<br /><br />I'm turning 19 this year and you're someone who I can truly look up to; an adult I wish to develop into. I look forward to reading your new beginnings (that is, if you'll still be blogging) and best wishes to you from Australia. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476828667893704794.post-72663403844953768332011-01-02T19:20:55.822-05:002011-01-02T19:20:55.822-05:00I just found your blog a day or two ago, so I don&...I just found your blog a day or two ago, so I don't know your 'backstory' -- all I have at the moment is the huge anxiety about coming out and the story of your actual opening your heart to your parents, your taking that piece which most of us have which says 'you are flawed, unacceptable' and just turning that lie into road kill by your honest tears, your open request to be accepted for who you are, which acceptance helps you to be who you are. <br /><br />I am in tears, in celebration for and with you, not only because of your beautiful bravery, your fine character, but also because you got to do what I never did get to do: I came out at age 62, after about 50 years of denial, and my father had been dead for 47 years, my mother for 36. My initial steps were without support, because I had learned to live without support. <br /><br />I have now learned what you know at a much younger age (I am 72): "I am my relationships." <br /><br />Be well my friend. I bless you, to the same depth of love, that you have blessed me.Whartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456339847052144121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476828667893704794.post-61922213595983389072011-01-02T10:40:17.889-05:002011-01-02T10:40:17.889-05:00Well said and well done.

I'm sure it was tougher than you can even put into words. I myself am still in the closet and constantly fear the day that I will have to tell my parents. It's really easy to lose hope through all this but reading your blog truly proves that things do get better. You've really helped me better understand all this confusion and realize that I am not alone.
