This was a really fun process, and I learned a lot along the way about what is very different about my experience from Aaron’s.

A lot of my story happens back in the late 1990s when I didn’t know any lesbian parents. That’s the last time I spent so much time thinking about Aaron and what he was like and what I wanted for my family.

Protecting my kids is still 99% of my love story every single day.

About 6 months into our relationship, Aaron started talking about writing his story for the Modern Love column in the New York Times.

I alternately wanted to read it and did not want to read it, and he assured me I could once it was done and edited.

Then he said I could read it in the paper, assuming they wouldn’t accept it.

Then they called to announce that they wanted to publish it.

It was beautiful all along. Here it is.
