Thank you Birdie for going public with your story. Going public takes courage …. And you exemplify it here. Your truth helps each of us to examine our lives and look for our own courageous next step. In deep gratitude for you.

I am so grateful that Birdie Henderson shared their piece with us which was part of their college experience not long ago. Sam Henderson is Birdie's father. Christine Capaci is Birdie's parent as Sam's spouse. The three of them are often part of online The Community Table on every other Monday evening at 8:00pm.

Birdie makes bravery look easy. They are an example to me every day. I couldn’t be prouder to be their mom.

I love this brilliant thought-provoking piece and how it weaves several themes together and allows the reader to interpret their own meaning. It's like a beautiful folk song by Joni Mitchell. For me it's time to take the next step into the eighth decade of my life. As I move slower toward the Light of eternity, I embrace the past, present and future with gratitude and glee.
