Thank you for sharing this beautiful, intimate window into your family’s and your child’s story. I’m deeply grateful for the way your vulnerability paves the way for others to see God. 💛
Incredibly beautiful, courageous and tender. 😭❤️ Thank you, Marcie, Simon and Max for sharing your story and helping us see a more beautiful way. Let there be Light!
I have no words that haven't already been said. So beautiful, so moving, so vulnerable, so honest. Thank you so much to your whole family for sharing this story.
Thank you for sharing this story. I wish that all “Christians” were able to read that story and receive its beauty and truth. I am so grateful for you, your words, your example of how to live and love well.
This whole post resonated with raw truth, and this statement in particular touched me deeply: “And when that light finally revealed its truest and brightest reflection, I could refuse its light and continue to brood and hover over the formless void it left behind, or I could reflect back to it the Image of God within me and join in the singing of their incantation of creation: “Let there be light.” After it became clear that our kid had a fuller existence away from the home we made for them, I chose the latter. I would sing, “Let there be light.” So I asked, “Can we pick a new name for you?” ---what a powerful, beautiful example of choosing love and following the light 💖✨
Brand new subscriber here because of this. My eldest came out to us at 12–trans non-binary—and it’s been such a journey as we navigate who is “safe” for them to be themselves with and who isn’t, and it’s reshaping me daily. Thank you for this. 💜
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing these words, a true gift, with me...with us. I weep with you at your loss, just as you weep with me at mine. The circumstances are different, but the grief we each feel is real and something we have to learn to live with. Just as I celebrate my LGBTQ+ family members, I celebrate your kid living as their whole self alongside you! May I be the mama/auntie that my people need me to be...may they see God's love through me. Sending you a big hug today!
❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭 Your child and your love for them touches my heart so so so deeply. May They-God heap blessings all over your whole family’s heads. ❤️❤️❤️

This is sacred.
Sacred.

Oh, thank you. You didn’t have to give us this. It’s a rib from your side.
It costs.
It’s forming us.
Thank you.
