My granddaughter came out five weeks ago. When I heard the news, I texted her: I talked to your dad last night. Im so happy you came out, and I support you 100%. I just wanted to stop by and tell you I love you. If theres anything I can do to help you, Im here.

I spent the past six months thinking she might be transitioning, and it brought me great relief to see her reveal herself as the vibrant young woman she envisioned and was destined to be.
