To get back to my story -
In the 5th grade I met one of my dearest friends, although it 'pains' her terribly when I refer to her in this way, she was my first 'girlfriend.' Of course, she did not know at the time the connection with her was anything more than a 'normal' one. She has always had a special place in my heart and I am grateful to say that we have remained friends for all of these years. She has been married almost as long as my wife and I (over 25 years) and through everything, has been steadfast in her friendship, honor and respect, even though I know that her Christian perspective might have challenged my being transgendered at some point.
I don't remember much more about the elementary years, except that I had a crush on my 4th grade teacher, but who didn't?
I'll try to take more time and post regularly now that I am back in the swing of things.
