Ten Years Gone

Author's note. This is the counterpoint to my last story, "Five years Gone." Its a little bit more hopeful, I hope you like it.

Well, well, well. I just looked at the membership file, and I can’t believe its been a decade since I became a member of this site. Boy, has a lot changed in that time, huh? Especially for me. Who would have believed the scared person who still believed she could “cure” herself of wanting to be a woman would be where I am now?

First and foremost, I need to thank everyone who sent good wishes to me and my new bride on our wedding. It wasnt the biggest wedding in history, but it was nice. Of course, the best part was being in matching wedding gowns.

As well as matching things underneath.

I can’t believe how blessed I’ve become. Just when things were at their wost, my beautiful bride came into my life, and turned everything around.

I am beyond grateful for her.

With her by my side, I was able to finally make peace with my past, and start planning a future. She got me to believe in myself, and thanks to her, I’m now a published author, whose books have done pretty good considering trans stuff isnt exactly mainstream.

Of course, it isnt all good news. While Mom was able to attend the wedding, she’s still not used to needing a wheelchair to get around. And of course my ex refused to have anything to do with the whole thing, but that was to be expected.

She’s never really recovered from the divorce or the fact that Samantha chose to live with me, rather than her. Having Sam and my bride at my side when I went for my SRS made the all the trouble it took to get to that point worthwhile.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didnt remember to thank all my friends here, who have played such a big part in helping me get to this point in my life. And rest assured I’m not going anywhere, I’ll keep popping in, now and again, keeping you guys in the loop, and paying back for some of that support by being a support to all of you.

Well, I better sign off for now, but like I said, I’ll be on as often as I can.

Hugs and blessings from Dorothy. (and family)
