My sweet Fransisco.....

Please remember that you will never be liked or loved by everyone, nobody ever is. You are loved here, you knew that and we all know that is important to you. Leaving will leave a huge hole in your life and in ours. Some people never understand what they do not know first hand, it scares them. Randy chose not to tell people about surgery, he is the 14th of 15 kids so that is a lot of people to NOT tell. Our daughter told one of his sisters and we love her so much....but she had to come and talk and talk about the dangers, complications, and pitfalls to surgery. People do not like what they do not understand. I do not understand alcoholism, smoking, or drugs. My parents died from them when I was still a teenager. I do not like or understand people like that. I am surrounded by my own lack of understanding about some things. Not to even compare you to anything like that!!!!!! Your life has enriched mine. I wrote you privately some time ago about my son, he is also gay, that did

not estrange us, other things did. But in knowing you I feel more understanding for his life too. My life is very much to the 'EXTREME RIGHT" I am conservative, prudish, and republican.... Do you hate me because of that? I have yet to meet you, I'm hoping to in Santa Cruz the September along with all my other new support people. This board has been a blessing beyond understanding..... there is life after shakes, weights, and laxatives and this board satisfies every ones needs. In my humble opinion, nobody should send a private spiteful email to anyone.... we have gone through too much to be so cruel. I wish you joy, love, happiness, security, a feeling of self worth that grows more everyday! Most of all I wish that your security can be regained by our love, respect, and admiration for you, the person you are and all that you represent...success as a person!!!!

BIG BIG HUGS!!!!!! Randy and Sue from Palmdale
