My boy contacted me just minutes after I posted my status line this morning that said ” Life is beautiful! Be thankful, and see the beauty.” Little did I know that a miracle would be happening.
Sitting here once again, after a shopping trip with him, and the emotions are flooding. The tears streaming down my face, a sob or two sneaks its way out.
I look at the photos I’ve uploaded, I hear my boys in the other room, and I cry some more. The joy inside me is screaming its way into the room.
I go through my emails, and find another young man who writes “my life is being put thru a meat grinder, binding is as far as can go at this point, social anxiety is killing me, can’t use public restrooms, i’m scared, confused & alone”.
I cry some more, as I am trying to explain to my wife – something that doesn’t really need explained. All this started because I created a simple website. A website to give the guys a chance at something I never had.
Nearly 900 men (from 13-65), two other support sites, and now an organization later, I am humbled. And emotional. And ecstatic. And nearly speechless.
I will explain the miracle of my boy being here in our home in another note. I’m not able to write any more now, it’s way too powerful.
Seize the Day!
