One of the coolest things is to watch your children grow up and evolve into the adults they are going to be. You will see bits and pieces of the kids you raised and then there will be all the bits and pieces they picked up along the way resulting in this awesome person.
Kris is my gender fluid middle child, who uses “they/them/their” pronouns and currently has female gender expression. The journey we have taken over the last six and a half years rivals Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom. Having a daughter for 18 years, then a son for nearly 4 years and finally seeing Kris come into themselves has been amazing.
In a few weeks Kris will be graduating from college. They are finishing a few years later than their friends but those extra years were filled with self-discovery and growth that can only be experienced through real life living. It hasn’t been easy and it won’t be easy but boy, am I proud of this kid!

Becoming – it’s hard work, and takes dedication, but it’s the only way to find real happiness.

Exactly! I think it’s the people who are looking for a quick and easy fix that are the most unhappy. It really is a process and it does take a lot of work.

I don’t have children, but you did get me thinking of my brother’s kids, children I babysat once upon a time, and children of my friends. It is amazing to remember how they were as tiny ones and who they are today. 🙂

It’s pretty incredible to see how much of who they become was there all along!
