			I have always been different, the proverbial 'black sheep' (now PINK) of the family    Along with my dolls, I played with a metal, yellow Tonka truck that I got one Christmas.  Played in the creek with the neighbor boys finding crawdads to keep in a coffee can.  Wore overalls and a pixie hair cut and always had a crush on another girl.  Yet when I brought my high school g/f home.......the crap hit the fan.  It was 1977 in my traditional, southern, religious family, I know'd I done wrong!!  Thus began the stiffling of Lola. 
 
I married a guy that was my best friend who had been dumped by his fiance, we shared lots of the same ideals, and more importantly? the family approved!  We had kids and a great life, until I got so sick that I tried to end my life......what was at the bottom? me, the real me.  I'm so happy I found her in time to live the second half of my life as the person God made me to be, today, on Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for that, among many other things.
