A heartbreaking story. The idea that a family can turn their backs on someone because of their sexual orientation horrifies me. I so hope that "George" found a way through his pain and found someone who could love him for being his authentic self. This piece is such a great reminder that so many struggle at Christmas, and how important it is that we are kind. Like you. How lovely that you kept the gift he gave you. It anchors the story in a way that nothing else could. What a life you have led. A🙏💚
