You touch on another point that I agree with – people just don't understand. And it's not that they don't want to, or they aren't trying. but unless you have gone thru this, it all seems a little…weird (as you say).

Thankfully, this post has reached a few of my close family members and they did agree 100%. I also sent out a couple of personal emails and everyone has been supportive.

I am very lucky to have the family that I do.
