Some story ideas.

Dad and son had always been very close. They were involved in Boy Scouts, sports, camping, and other activities. The son was never, the "effeminate" boy, but was always involved in normal male behavior and had never given any hints that he was "different". At least none that the father saw. Mom on the other hand, had an inkling that her son was different. When they were alone, the interaction was different then a normal mother son relationship, but nothing to the extent, that he acted outwardly female to her.

Mom gets a form of cancer that leads to her dying quickly and unexpectedly. The final conversation between the mother and son, has her asking him what he is hiding, and the son admiting to her that he thinks he is a girl. She dies.

Both the father and son are devastated. The father can not cope with his wife's death and begins to withdraw from the world including his son to some extent. He feels the world has deserted him. The father while being religious and some what conservative, is not a bigot. He does not condone gay marriage, but takes a benign view to legal rights for gays. He knows nothing about transexualism and thinks cross dressing is moraly wrong.

The son is also devated by his mom's death. He sometimes goes into his parents room and justsits there. Eventually, he smells her clothing to realize her scent and closeness, which then leads to his first experments in cross dressing. He dress in moms clothing. He continues to do this and becomes more adept. The father discovers him, and has various emotions, "his wife has returned'. He then realizes it is his son, and reacts badly. Curses the son and throws him out of the house. The son goes to live with his mom's sister, who is willing to take him in, and is quite liberal in her thinking, as are her husband and children. His cousin, a girl of the same age, begins to help him through the transition. The son initially can not understand why is loving father, his buddy has rejected him/her.

Dad cuts off all communication, (Too proud to admit he might have been mistaken)but continues to support his child financially. He still loves his son, but cannot accept what the son has done. HIs feeling is of total abandonment from those he love(s)(d). His brother-in-law, keeps him advised of what is occcurring whith the boy and his transition, but does not send pictures, etc.

The son, starts to transition, and at 18 inherits money that became due to him through an insurance policy on his mom. He uses that money for the final SRS.

She is aware that her father has supported her, and is aware that her uncle has been secretly keeping her dad posted about her life. She is aware that dad still loves her, and she remembers how close they were. She also understands that her father feels that she betrayed him and abandoned him in his grief.

She has gone to school graduatd with high marks, has a career in the same field as her dad. In fact she went into the field, becasue as a teen, she then he went to work with him on occcassion. In fact she is a rising star in the field. Dad knows of this and has mixed emotions. He has pride that his "son" has accomplished so much, but is saddened, by the fact that he cannot enjoy it.

She meets the man she wants to marry. They get enganged. Etc.

She knows that her wedding can not be complete without her father walking her down the aisle and mentions this to her aunt

Low and behold, her aunt remembers that she the aunt got married in her sister's wedding gown, and the gown was preserved in cold storage. She decides to present this as a gift to her niece. The niece remembers pictures of her mom in the wedding gown. She agrees to use it.

The uncle is still communicating with the dad. He tells him she is getting married and dreams about him walking her down the aisle.

He sends him a picture of the child in his wife's wedding gown. The similarities are amazing. You can tell it is not the mother, but just barely. Other then pictures of her in a magazining clipping, this is the first he has seen of his child as his daughter.

There is no anger between them, just saddness and biterness of what each thinks is a betrayl by the other.

The wedding should be in a church that accepts gay marriage. It should be as tradional as possible.

Does his heart melt? Does he attend the wedding???????
