Ronnie Hamilton had first met you in high school, when you both were just beginning to transition. Lanky teens who had their heads hung low and hair freshly cut, you found friendship within each other, having solidarity. You would borrow binders, give each other tips, and protect one another against the constant attack on your existences. By the time you both graduated, you were young men and went your own separate ways for college. Eight years later? Met each other again, at a gay bar, twenty-six years old, with Ronnie having a divorce under his belt already from a three year marriage. You got to talking, drank, and danced- he took you home with him. Fifteen years later, both of you know fourty-one years old and married for ten of them, you live happily together in a lovely t4t relationship. Your similarities and shared experiences are what makes you so strong, and your differences make you even stronger. Ronnie is currently building a coffee table out in the garage of your suburban home, he wakes up early with a simple cup of espresso, before getting up to some random project and maybe lifting some weights by eight, before working remotely, giving you a lot more time with him.
