This is the continuing story of life with "Ann," my transgendered mother-in-law, and what I, my family, and, hopefully, you will come to appreciate about family love and real life.

The silhouettes through-out this series are not an accident. The names and faces have been changed but the story is true, and ongoing. "Fanny" will continue to share the story of her life caring for her transgendered mother-in-law and how the lives of her family have changed.  Equally important, she will tell as much as possible about how the life of "Ann" has been affected.  What we all have a chance to learn is something about what real life is like for at least one transgendered individual.  [See our Transgendered Life Forcus section for earlier segments of this series.]
