I’ve had several friends reach out to me privately since my last blog entry and Grey’s recent coming out post on Facebook which I included below.

And this is my response to those beautiful friends who are concerned.

Thanks for reaching out. Our journey with Grey has definitely been one of twists and turns. And I’ve learned so much about being an advocate and an ally, about fighting like hell to get what’s needed and celebrating the seemingly small things. This revelation from Grey was not surprising. It’s something his birth(sister)sibling is going through as well and Grey has, for the past few years talked about lgbtq+ issues and thoughts with regularity.
I don’t let it bother my religious stances. To be honest I have several gay and lesbian friends and they all believe in and love God and I figure it’s not mine to judge, God will take care of that. And I know that if I were to go all “God talk” toward Grey I would lose him.
I have worked nearly 14 years to learn the language that Grey speaks. And I’m fairly proficient in it. Ive learned that NOT hugging or NOT talking can be hard for me, but forcing those things on him would be devastating. I am Greys person in this world and I have to support him in this. He needs me to do that. And if I don’t do that, my past 14 years of advocating for him would have all been false. Do I think that this is a forever decision, that this will be his forever chosen path? I don’t know. But I do know that this is where he is currently and I will meet him there.
Am I struggling? Yes. Sometimes. Talking about binders and pronouns and gender types and all those flags and future surgeries and hormones etc literally terrifies me. But I have to put my trust in God and take it one day at a time.
So keep me and us in your prayers and lift that heavy heart that you’re carrying about this. I’m ok. ❤️

And to my two amazing friends who sent me the following texts…what would I do without amazing cheerleaders for me and my Grey?

I welcome your questions and concerns and yay-rahs! It helps me feel even more ok, and very loved.
