Live your life freely my love.
I'd found out a couple of months before the con, as I was prepping my Korra Legend of Korra cosplay, that an acquaintance from the previous year was putting together a Lin Bei Fong cosplay, and I made plans to spend some time with her with us both in those costumes on the first day of the con.
I had persevered in my search for all that with a man, without ever thinking I would be able to find it with a woman.
Then we kissed, and things went spiraling after that.
We made out for hours.
I'd been my husband George's caregiver as he'd succumbed to cancer.
