a secret i hope no one will hear me even with a dent like that he is a god with a huge belly with no reaction he believes he's a cool guy because he can drive a woman and find another one there always be someone who will be happy to have him always. everything i had a number of sham marriages well one was official right another marriage another baby and still nothing nothing changed about lee i was still the same person i had always been with quickly but not on the divorced i supported my child my nan shelley and helped as best as i could when we divorced she was eight or nine months maybe a year old. now she's twenty six. i guess i wouldn't recognize her if i met her on the street.
3:47 am
who i spoke to on the phone and we had great to meet over. there the more i thought i could give myself a little treat and meet the person who has my own blood flowing through them they were to me a clue. to the scene of your i was there anything rena texted to say she couldn't make it and she had a lot of things to do she couldn't come which was a pity much and i feel so stupid and upset with. i doubt a reader knew it was my birthday she couldn't mean it to be such an empty present
3:48 am
the worst time for me was when i was forty five it was a tough this year of my life that year and made the best impressions i've ever had in my whole life i realized that it was too late i was way past the critical stage and i was depressed it's a most dangerous suicidal state for a hit boiling point. after my second attempt to commit suicide failed which i decided there was not much point in trying again for a third time it was much better to see what would happen if i started taking hormones going so that's what i did.
3:49 am
where back exactly where we stopped last time i asked you for a document for any relevance so typical as that could prove that the clinic has a license can you present such documents are not i can't present such documents you've come to the hearing unprepared again what next what do you expect us to do take my word for it. of news but i believe in anything. that i want to do. just an operation the case wouldn't matter anymore. if i meet him i will have nothing to say to him i can imagine. what i will do if we me what can i tell him i certainly want to say hello and i don't want to say hello
3:50 am
julia either you or i could but i don't want to. bring i don't want to encourage him i'll never pat him on the shoulder in an operating room and say go on man if he feels that male member prevents him from having a happy life he's free to remove it and i won't come to the hospital with a banner saying no to julia soul of you over i won't do that when he's never done me any wrong after he became a woman although he did me a lot of bad things before but it really puts me off that i have such a father anyway no matter how you look at it i feel ashamed. oh oh i'm going to do when i have children of my own i won't be able to tell them that this is their grandfather but i can't go for a walk with him or come to his place on saturday to drink beer and watch football to do all the simple things i would like to do.
3:51 am
i did not fall in love with him but i felt it was speedy you when i saw him for the first time he had the eyes of the beaten dog thrown out on the street he's had this desolate look in his eyes all his life and had always felt he wanted to be me no woman i mean for example he would ask me to stand in front of the mirror and point out that our foreheads look alike and some other things. people were bought and paid when i was pregnant with terrible texaco's it's the first thing i wanted to know was whether it was a congenital disorder union and when i found out it wasn't i come down with you at least i will have a baby i thought you through and then if after this operation you behave here you've got all these ten twenty thirty years that remain with whom would you let him do it if it'll make life easier for him because in fact it seems self that he's
