Every year I had a different need for this anniversary; sometimes it was just to be around people who cared and other times...

I am a mosaic of all the trauma of those who came before me and I’m exhausted trying to make it beautiful.

I imagine the outpouring of love Ron received when he transitioned was similar in magnitude.

"I’d love to hold the people I miss that have long since left me. I would love to hear all of them laugh one more time."
