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

Paige,
Sorry to hear of your loss, your mother sounds like a special woman. Wonderful that you were there for her in the end and she was able to let you know of her love for you.
Hi Kate

Paige,
I am so sorry to hear this sad news about your Mom. I lost my Mom to a stroke back in October and I miss her every single day. Mom’s are so special in our lives and when we lose them it just hurts.
After my Mom passed, one of my siblings sent this little story around – it brought me some solace and I hope it does for you as always.
Love and hugs, Mona
Hi Mona
I’m sorry to hear about your mom too and somehow I know that they are looking down on us and watching us like you I have inner peace and solace in my heart
Love Paige
OMG – I copied and pasted the story as a jpg image into the comment field and it looks like I blew up the whole website!!! So sorry – it looked OK when I pasted it. I’ve attached it to this message.
Hi Mona, deleted all the computer code there, it did not make for good reading. Hugs….
That’s so beautiful thank you for sharing
First of all, let me offer my condolences on the loss of your Mother. Indeed that is a difficult and trying situation.
I lost my Mum over 25 years ago, and I never was far enough out of the closet to tell her that she had a daughter which always wanted, but never did have. So I am so glad that you were able to tell her that she had a lovely daughter as well as a son.
This will take time, and yes you have the support of all of us here.
Take care and stay healthy.
Amy
Thank you so much Amy
Paige, my Condolences Dear. Both you and your Mother sound as if you have a Beautiful Spirit. I miss my Mom also. Hugs Pru
Thank you so much for your condolences
Indeed a most dramatic experience but you seem to show such maturity and insight to deal with it all sis
Thank you and yes life goes on and Iam so blessed that I have so many friends here
Love Paige
Thank you for sharing your strength, it is so important for those young, unsure, and isolated. Inspiration comes from many sources!
Don’t ever be afraid to live your life for you never worry about what others think or say I know I don’t and being a girl has made me live love laugh and be happy
It seems my edit didn’t take on my previous post. Paige, my condolences to you dear. I lost my dad in early 2020 and had the added stress of not being able to see him pass or be there to bury him. I to had to be strong and love the fact that you considered others during your mourning to give a message of love. You wear your heart on your sleeve and it is a beautiful thing, as I am sure you are a beautiful person inside as much as outside.
Hi Ricca
I’m so sorry for your loss too and I’m sure your dad knew that you loved him so thank you for your friendship and sweet response and my heart will go on
I try to live my life honest and sincere and I have no regrets and no matter what society thinks about a girl like me I don’t even think twice about it because I’m a girl and live life to the fullest
Love Paige
