I took it to be a sign from God and or the Universe when I first lost my wife of 32 years, then was laid off from work and no openings within a 75-mile radius of where I was staying in VT. I was left with only me and my little chihuahua to worry about, could collect unemployment for a year, start collecting a good SS. Telling me it was time to retire and start living as the real me. My Gerri and I had tried 3 during our marriage for me to transition but as she always said “Life interfered” so it looked like now was my time. So, I started my SS on May 1 2009, packed up all my boy clothes except a couple pair of jeans, took everything to Salvation Army and never looked back. Thanks to the 32 years of acceptance and support of me for all the 32 years together walked out  the door head held high with total confidence and self esteem.
