Sadness lives deep within the lines of life
Grief is a weird thing it often masquerades and hides.
Out of the darkness sadness bounds
Followed by grief, aloneness, pride
Pride, guilt, shame and selfdoubt
All are the same as they hide and seek out
Then the tide churns, anger comes in
Anger at others for daring to say
What you were feeling every moment of every day
The walls go up the battle lines flare
How dare they suggest!
This is all to real!
Back into the darkness
Retreat
Hide
Back to the grief, aloneness, pride
Back to the sadness
The cycle of fear charges up
Its time to find a way out.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
