    OK, maybe not viral but its getting alot of attention. Yesterday I got an e-mail from the PFLAG chapter in Buffalo, New York requesting to add it to their website. I've been getting other e-mails from people saying they really liked it and have shared it with their family members and friends.

    I am thinking of editing it to make it more general and trying to get it published in a magazine. Maybe a woman's magazine. I've contacted some others who write for magazines asking for "tips". So we will see.

    The article is here:

    Becky your writing is going to be more popular than "Shoes" by Kelly! (*hug*)

    I knew you would make an impact on people, but this is great! Buffalo!
