Acceptance is overrated...


Dear Frank,

We are on our way to Olive’s latest beauty pageant, and it has reminded me of our trip to California. I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for our family. Just as we were falling apart, you showed up and began to put us back together. If it hadn’t been for you, I don’t know what would have become of us.
Thank you for telling my family the truth about your life and letting them know that it is okay to be different in a society that requires normalcy for acceptance. You truly helped us open up to each other and begin to be supportive. I hope you have found your way back into academia and that someday you’ll come on another trip with us.

Love, Sheryl
