A Year Ago Ch. 13

I shared my surgery schedule and she asked how Lynn and Bill had handled my change. I spoke of the new relationships with Avery and Madison. I didn't divulge that I was falling for three different women but I did say I was happy to be meeting new friends. I withheld the fact of a new male in my life too.

"That's exciting Sara. My boy became a woman and I missed witnessing it. I'm so happy because I can hear it in your tone Sara. You're happy with this, therefore so am I."

Her support was making me a little emotional, "There are minor issues to be dealt with but the paperwork is settled. Even my mortgage has been revised. Now I wish I could have my surgery sooner."

There was a curiosity in her tone as she asked, "Can you tell me if you've decided you might like men? Or is Sara still in love with every woman she meets?"

I wondered aloud if that was a good characterization, "Was I like that early on Mom?"

She said that before I was eight or nine years old I only enjoyed playing with the neighborhood girls. Today showed me that something had changed for this girl seemed to like boys as well.

"You had boys that were friends but the girls could easily pull you into their world, Sara. I think your name is settling into my mind now honey."

I considered Jenn and as she continued talking I was certain that was still correct. If she suddenly appeared I would consume Jenn. I was strongly attracted to girls, to that girl.

We spoke for nearly an hour and she realized that technology could help her, "Can you send me a picture like you sent to Lynn. I love that part of your story Sara. I'd wished I could have seen that bitch's face when the picture flashed on her phone."

She didn't care for Lynn when they met last year.

I'd went to the wardrobe and put on my wig.

A minute later she swooned, "I think the wig looks quite good. You need to watch how much weight you've drop Sara. It may feel good to be thin but it isn't a sign of good health. Besides that I love my new daughter!"

She pause, it sounded as if she might have been weeping.

"Are you really fine with all of this Mom? I mean are you really in my corner on this, or are you just being fair and nice?"

She was crying softly, "I'm fine and I do love the decisions you've made. I just wish you'd let me visit for a few days. I'll get a hotel room so your schedule and new life won't be controlled by my being there."

I considered this but asked her, "Can you give me a day or two Mom? And how do you suggest I break the news to my father?"

She was ready for the question, "I'll speak with him Sara but I want some better pictures of you. Please send me several in the morning when the light is better. Something that shows how unequivocally your decision is. He must realize in a moment that you're a woman. Is that sensible to you Sara?"

I thought for a second, "That's a really good suggestion and attitude and I thank you for thinking of me Mom. I'll call you tomorrow OK?"

She told me she was proud of her new daughter and that she would always love me.

I slept a lot better that night. I had a new friend and a mother to support my new life as a woman. I would get her a plane ticket tomorrow.
