Continued from here.
There's another teacher who belongs on that list: Gavin Elliot.
Gavin,
Whether you realize it or not, you've taught me something very important: how to trust again. Sure, you didn't quite know what to think of me when I first told you my secret, but I felt you needed to know who I was and things that have gone on in my life. So many people have judged me in the past: because I was a woman, I couldn't inherit lands and title from my husband, I couldn't lead men into battle, I couldn't fight, I couldn't kill, I couldn't be strong, I couldn't take care of myself. You know all that about me now. Granted maybe not everything, but you know more about me than I man I was married to for nearly thirty years. You could've easily said that you didn't know if you could handle all that, and that you couldn't see things working out. Instead, you accepted me, and that's an extremely rare thing for which I am truly grateful
Thanks for not judging me, and accepting me for who I am.
