I am a rose, you are my thorns,
clutching to me, protecting me.
I am the sun, you are my rays,
helping me to shine and to be all that I can.
I am a lake, you are my water,
filling me with ideas, dreams, and hopes for the future.
I am a tree, you are my leaves,
sharing who and what I am
and becoming an important part of my life.
I am a heart, you are my beat,
beating rhythmically to my happiness,
my fear, my sadness, my excitement.
I am me and you are with me,
to share all that I am,
to share life, love, and happiness.

I adopted Heather a couple years ago. She moved here from B.C because she wasn't accepted there and Alberta has such a strong T.G community. She wanted somewhere central to live, so I suggested Red Deer. She came down and checked out Red Deer, soon after that, and knew this was the place she wanted to call home. We became the best of friends right away. I took her under my wing and helped her with her make-up and her clothes and her hair. I would show you her before pictures, but quite frankly I don't want to scare my visitors away. Heather has done so much for me. I couldn't ask for a better friend or a better daughter. We hang out alot together and go on alot of mother daughter outings. Someone should really inform her though that she is supposed to get me a mothers day card at least lol. If you want to date my daughter just click on her pic and it will take you to her email. She is quite the flirt lol.

Cutie pie, Cutie, Sarah, Cute Explosion, What ever you want to call her no name really did her justice for the wonderful person she was. She also, like Heather, lived in Red Deer. She was so shy and so afraid to go out in public. It took alot of convincing but I finaly managed to drag her to a TG function and she had the time of her life. Before the function started I dragged her to Walmart and tried to get her to try on bras over top of her clothes in the middle of Walmart. Heck I even showed her how. She hid, I think I embarrassed her lol. Not to long after that function I became her mom and I was a very proud mom. A week later she passed away from a heart problem she never even knew existed.

 She was with us such a short time, but in that time she so dearly touched so many of our lives. When ever I needed a pick me up she was only a phone call away and she was blessed with such a   wild sense of humor. She could  put a smile on anyones face. She was a girl of few words, but alot of heart. Dependable, reliable. You could always count on her for help. She truly enriched the lives of anyone that knew her. She had such a great nature and positive attitude.

 I remember the first time she picked me up for supper. She was met at the door by  my son who was brandishing a plunger threating Cutie to make sure she had me home on time. Her response was just so funny. ( Guess ya had to be there)

 Cutie is now in a better place, free from prejudice, and a place that she can be herself.

 I truly believe she is now our Guardian Angel. I will always remember you Cute Explosion and you will forever remain in my heart.

Love Sweet Explosion

(dammit I was only your mom for a week I didn't even get to spank you)

 (Out of respect for her family not knowing that she was transgender her real photo will not be posted)
