Dear Karen,

If I were her, I would have wrote it a little differently . . . you are beautiful, INSIDE AND OUT. You really have a beautiful heart . . .

Yours truly,

Monica

Monica, I give her slack as she has POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome).

The funny thing is about two hours later she post a new problem with the door. I again offered assistance and fixed the problem. What was funny about it was I got the impression she simply wanted to talk to me and never once mentioned my transition but other things.

Dear Karen,

That's a good sign . . . she wants to talk to you as a fellow woman!

Your friend,

Monica

Hi Monica, That is how I took it, no transitioning questions only chit-chat like two women talk.

Karen,

Great story. Still not getting the "forgot" part. Unless it's that you had not seen her since your procedure. I can understand why she appreciates you for you. She probably felt the same way about you when you were a "different" you than you are now? I'm just curious about what age this person is. My kids friends still refer to my wife and I as "mom & dad", even now that they are in they're early 30's. I suppose if they wanted to call us "mom & pseudo-mom" I could live with that!

Hi Veronica,

I am getting too old to remember these things :-) I believe I was referring to me not telling her I had transitioned. She is my daughter's age, 28 or 29.

Hi Karen.

Thanks for the feedback. 28/29?. I had the number 26 fixed in my brain. Just a guess.

Veronica.

Karen, that is a really wonderful story!
