So, I'm feeling pretty happy now. I wanted to come out to my sister, but she lives in another state, so I sent her an e-mail. And she sent me a response. So I'm pretty happy right now... just thought I'd share.
congrats ! gave me one more reason i should tell my sister ! (i'm in the exact same situation, we live on different continents and see each other for christmas only, so i'll try to tell her by email before december if i find the courage)
Congratulations. I remember your first posts here at EC, and it's great to see how great things are turning out to you.
