It is, more so than I let on to most people. Just the idea that Lauren will change her name brings tears. It's weird how she is changing yet remains the same. I can't really explain it well but I think you know how I mean. She has researched and knows who to go to for the two main operations, a doctor in Flordia for the chest surgery (soon) and one in San Francisco for the female internal organs surgery (later).
David was stunned when he first was told and still remains somewhat removed, a little distant. When first told, he asked what we were going to do and I said accept what she has to do or loose her, not an option for either of us. Still, I take Lauren to her hormone doctor, to her therapist, I give her her shots all of which is probably as it should be but I know that whatever Lauren needs, David will help her get that.
Thank you so much for your lovely supportive thoughts. You can't know how much appretion I have. I hope your friend's journey is always a peaceful one also full of support and acceptance.
