Yes, My Annachen. They're wrong. Your aunt Emma and aunt Liz love each other very much. There is nothing wrong with that. People should be with who they love, Anna. And when you get older, you'll be with who you love too, and it won't matter if that person is a male or a female. All that matters is that they make you happy. And Emma and Liz make each other very happy.

why would they say those things?

Because they don't understand. Some people are taught that they're supposed to live a certain way, no matter if it makes them unhappy. So they don't understand how something they were taught was wrong, could be right. Hopefully, they'll learn. For now, don't listen to them. They don't know what they're talking about.

okay! are you sad daddy?

Nothing Annasnuggles won't cure. Thomas just woke up so we'll be up to see you in a minute!

Of course they're wrong, my darling. Everyone ought to be free to love whomever they choose, lady or man. The only limit is that you don't hurt anybody. I'm in love with two other girls, and they love me. A lot of people wouldn't accept that, but the people who love us do. They know we three make each other very happy.

When you're older, you too will take a person, or people to love. Don't let anyone else define for you who you should love. It's up to you and your heart. Elizabeth and Emma love each other as truly and deeply as any couple I've ever known. Anyone who doesn't see that is blind, and they have no right to speak of love.

Don't listen to anyone who says people being in love is gross. They're wrong, and someday they'll realise it. I love you, Anna. You're a brave, sweet girl, and very smart too. You were right, but it's still very good to ask for advice when you're not sure. You're wonderful, my darling *smiles*

i love you too renee! okay I will not listen to them. they are silly.

Yes darling, that's exactly what they are *smiles* We know better!

daddy snuggled me and i gave thomas a kiss!

You're so sweet! I'm sure you made them both very happy, darling.
