“As the man I love changes before my eyes, I try to take in and make the most of each new stage. If I were to ever lose him, I’d want to remember as much of him as I can. The good and the bad.”

“I remember holding his big, hairy hand, rubbing his big, hairy, navy ship-tattooed forearm, his head on my chest while I rocked him as if the roles were reversed and he was my child and I was his parent.”
“God did not say what I felt, ‘How pathetic. How could you have missed this?’ Instead, he held my gaze without flinching. He was with me.”
“Without even realizing it, my whole identity was that relationship. So when the relationship came to an end, I almost did too. I didn’t know who I was, what I liked, or where I was heading.”
“You are loved. You are wanted. Life doesn’t always have to be this hard. And there is more than one way to remove the pain and suffering you’re experiencing.”
“I felt stuck in the deepest, darkest hole. I had a decision to make—be hurt by these statements people are saying about me or help end the stigma in the Christian community.”
