There is nothing like the love or a child.

I do believe that there is a greater being that has brought me this far through life. Something or someone is on my side teaching me valuable lessons.

I accept emotional pain, walk through it, and then come through the other side.

I, personally, am trying to get more and more involved with the gay and lesbian movement, very much so.

Keep your head up and be patient.

Vulnerability and me go hand and hand now. I try to put myself first so that I can take care of my family so I try not to fight vulnerability as much now.

Hugs are part of everybody life for me. Hug all sorts of people - I don't worry about it looking unmanly or whatever. I think physical human contact is one of the things that makes living worthwhile.
