The way you look
when you look my way
The way you speak
when you speak that way
The way your scent fills my lungs
when you are near
The way you hold onto me so tightly
makes it crystal clear
The softness of your skin
when you press your chin to mine
The taste of your kiss
leaves me heady like wine
The way you make me feel
everyday, fills me with cheer
The way you stand by my side
makes it crystal clear

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
