I'm a 62-year-old spinal fusion and throat cancer survivor who has lived as a transgendered female since approximately age 13. My amazingly wonderful biologically female wife, Aileen Terra, and I were married for 18 wonderful years until she died from liver cancer on November 20, 2010 at Malachi House in Cleveland, Ohio.
I was Aileen's primary caregiver for the last eight months of her life.

However due to arthritic damage throughout my body, and to my hands, I use a speech program (Dragon NaturallySpeaking), in order to use my computer. However, as a result of my having had a form of throat cancer in 1969, with my voice being rather raspy; my speech program will sometimes not process my speech correctly. And when that happens, typos then are produced.
It is my hope that those who are reading my journal, or following my on-line activities, will take this into consideration, and not judge me too harshly for any typos that may exist in any of the writing that I do.

Thank you very much.

Be well always.
