Yesterday was a massive day on lots of counts! First and foremost it was 86 days since I booked my Surgery and 86 days to go, I can’t tell you how excited I am, I just know the next 86 days are going to go so fast!. Secondly, last night I spoke to two very important people in my life, my aunt and uncle, for the first time after my amazing ex wife Fliss and equally amazing ex sister in law Lynne took the time to visit them, give them my letter and sit with them, explain the reasons and answer their questions about what they had just read, they were so supportive of my journey and it meant the world to me that they were. They were two people I was really struggling with how to tell, Fliss came up with the idea and her, Denise and I adapted and expanded the letter so it would make sense to them and tell as much of my story as possible in a relatively short, 3 page passage. My relationship with them has always been better than with my mother and over the years lots of things have come to light about how particularly Joyce was unfairly treated by my mother and my past coming to light as it has over the last 18 months made lots of sense to them. Their parting shot was that they are both looking forward to meeting Stephanie in August. Something that I thought might have been a very uncomfortable experience all round I’m sure will now be very positive, also, they are very much in touch with my relatives and family over in the uk so will go a long way in paving the way to promote my journey in a positive way to them which is so important to me. Thirdly, we made good progress on our house build in Nannup, from a very daunting pile of studs, braces, noggins, base and top plates and a huge number of boxes of screws (12000!) we now have 7 completed wall panels plus one 2/3 done, I should mention that we have probably done some of the easier ones but each one we completed gave me more confidence and I’m sure they will only get easier! I should point out that it was 35 degrees on the block yesterday so we certainly did some perspiring (clearly, ladies don’t sweat!) but we kept at it and we’re both very pleased with the progress!
