Too much empathy

The story was told in a very lovely and emotional way. The responses were way to empathetic, very slow paced and sometimes disingenuous. But overall a heartbreaking and yet inspiring story. I am not gay but I relate to her fear to disclose the truth about herself to her biological father for fear that she may lose him again. Losing him anyway was heartbreaking. Life at times is beyond cruel. Overcoming or transcending events is a passage of a worthy life.
