I don't know you all that well. Have known you vaguely for a couple of years, and somewhat better this past year. And this is something we have talked about. Although we didn't talk much about how you feel about it - and maybe that's something we should have, maybe I should have asked, who knows. So yeah, I knew. So I know it's part of you. But I also know it isn't all of you. When I think of you, I think of Dragons. And "Daddy Long Legs," and "Rocky Arthur" and latex and the sushi-stress-o-meter and a bunch of other things. That's living.
If - IF - you do the article, maybe you could get some of that across, that you are so much more what you have made of yourself. And maybe, even, they might print some of that. And even if they didn't, maybe it would be a helpful thing.
You could think of it this way - it's sort of like the two of you came from this same very very small town and only found out THAT on your college graduation day. Would that be a story you would want to tell? In a way it's true.
I think, to our parents, all of us are still fundimentally both an infant and about twelve. And its hard for them to move past seeing us that way, even with striking evidence to the contrary. And whoever finds a solution to that will deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

Just something to think about -
