Dear friends
I am writing to let you that my mom passed away recently.
She had been stricken with cancer and I put her in hospice on January 6th. I wanted to share with all of my friends, especially Vanessa, that before she passed away I told her I was her daughter. And although she probably knew because I look like a female she cried and said she accepted me and loved me and told me how beautiful I was to her.
My life will go on as a girl even though I’m alone now with no family. Knowing I have each and every one of you makes me feel loved.
I’ve learned that girls like us need to live each and every day to its fullest because we only get one life to live and no matter what society thinks we should just be true to ourselves.
Yes, it’s a sad time for me right now but I know that my mom is with God and healthy and beautiful. I know that she will always watch over me. The last words she said to me as I held her hand was that she loved me.
When I woke up to receive a phone call from hospice to let me know that she had passed, I realized that I needed to be strong and somehow get through this. I asked God for peace in my heart.
Please know that each and every one of us struggles with each passing day to live in a world where society frowns on us. Who cares that I’ve felt like a girl since I was 8 or 9 years old. Today, I have no regrets. Even though being a girl is hard work, keeping ourselves as feminine as possible, I want you all to remember that inside we are all beautiful and that’s all that matters.
Well, we are in a new year now and starting a new decade, so I hope each of you find health love and happiness in the coming days ahead.
When we were born we were crying and everyone around us was smiling, live your life so that when we die everyone around us is crying and we are the ones who are smiling.
Being a girl is not about what’s between our legs it’s about what’s between our ears.
Remember that Hood is a good thing because with Hope we always have something to look forward to.
I love reading all of your articles on here. I know how much all of you struggle on a daily basis because all we want is to be loved and accepted for who we are.
You are all beautiful! Thank you for your friendship and love!
❤️ Paige

So sorry on your loss Paige. I lost my mother this past March, I consider her death a covid death – brought on from loneliness from the shutdowns. she was in a nursing facility for over 10 years as alzheimer’s took it’s toll. Her last 6 months I so wanted to come out to her in fact the visit we had about 3 weeks before she passed she said a number of times I should get a hair cut ( had my now shoulder length hair in a pony tail). A few weeks ago on mother’s day I went to… Read more »
I feel so bad for you honey. I know how I felt when my Mom and Dad passed. But you have the memories of a life time to cherish and remember her by. Stay strong, the pain never goes away but eventually becomes bearable.
Love,
Trish
Paige, carry on living the life you love. My mum used to say that i was supposed to have been a girl when i was born and she even had my name picked out as Wendy.
I lost my mum 20 years ago and as the pain heals over time, the loving memories never fade.
Dont be afraid of the future. xx

What a wonderful memory that you will always have. Her last words were, “I love you" Whenever I went back to NY and stayed at my mom’s house or apartment, she always wanted to see me before I went out. She always told me I was beautiful. It’s been 8 years and I miss my mother’s love. Whenever I think of her, I find myself smiling. I’m sure you do too. Be well luv.
Hi Paige,
My deepest condolences for your loss.
I had the sad news on Christmas Eve that an uncle had passed two months earlier. Still processing it, but my family dynamic and the relationship I have with my parents means I don’t get much communication. Although I am not religious, I believe they do walk with us.
I wish you a peaceful and happy new year.
Hugs,
