The papers got signed . Tears were shed and smiles shared . I kissed Owens, no wait I mean Chaz's forehead for a final goodbye. Someday I hope to see him again. I hug the couple thanking them for providing Chaz the life he deserves . He has a new name, he has the new life he deserves.
"Dear diary,
I am now happy but sad, but also known I love him. Chaz is gone but in a better place. I hope to one day see him again and learn about his life. Life has just began for Chaz and is about to re-begin for me"
