Letter from a friend

July 24th, 2006 8:15 am MDT

I got a e-mail from a old friend the other day I wanted to share with everyone, it came if a bit of a surprise, but was a nice letter and goes to show who friends can be for sure I think.  Here is the letter-How are you? I hope all is going well. About three weeks ago I was in Farmington and saw your twin walking across the street. I was running late to a meeting and didn’t turn around. Things are going ok for me, just looking for love in all the wrong places. Doug told me he talked to you. He said you and your family are doing well. That’s good to hear.Hey, I wanted to let you know something, but just haven’t known how to bring it up. Well, here goes nothing. One of our friends was poking around on Myspace.com last winter and ran across your account. They noticed that one of your friends was you dressed as a woman. Of course with this group and peoples big mouths it didn’t take long before a bunch of people found out. I’m sorry if you didn’t want this secret to get out, but it did. To tell you the truth it doesn’t seem like it shocked most people and I think most people almost expected something like this. Actually, I wasn’t very surprised either. After seeing you all decked out (in drag) that one Halloween years ago it makes sense.  A guy doesn’t walk around in heals all night unless he’s been doing it for a while.For the most part everyone has been very accepting of the situation and I don’t think you have anything to be ashamed of. We are all still your friends, a few of us might be a bit set back or thrown for a loop, but I think most everyone looks at the world with an open mind. Of course some minds tend to be more accepting then others, but that is just the way the world is.I hope this letter doesn’t come as too much of a shock to you. If it does….. I’m sorry. Please know that everyone is still the same and that we all care about you.  Please remember, friendship with this group is a life long membership. People come and people go, but all are welcome. I thought it was nice and wanted to share it with you all, guess some fears are not as bad as they can be.  I havent ran into them since I got this, but should be interesting!!  Have a great week and chat with all real soon I hope.HuggsApril
