Generous In Spirit

Dear Mr. Cox–Greetings to you and to all of my distant cousins(very distant) in the U.K. I’m writing from America (what’s left of it) to offer my thanks, for your unique website. It is a continuing source of comfort to me. Especially when I am lonely. I am an unwanted, unneeded and unseen 75 year old man with Asperger’s Syndrome. At 19, I was traumatized by the cruel rejection of gay men. I tried to disappear into the wallpaper, for safety sake. Yes, I am fey, effete and effeminate. I’ve also been called “wimpy”. I foolishly believed that if I were to keep a low profile, I could avoid verbal and physical abuse. I now trust no one and live quietly on what had been a horse farm in the northern part of the state of Florida. I have rarely been asked about my marital status. There is a Spanish proverb that may explain why. “One Does Not Ask The Question, When One Knows The Answer”. What’s my point you ask? Gentlemen, please show compassion and empathy. Be generous in spirit to one another. Extend grace to another who needs your affirmation. I am finished with psychotherapy and life itself. I will be travelling to Switzerland in the near future to end my life. To be “put to death”. It is too late for me. But, please do not let a man face another day without a smile and a kind word from you. It could mean the world to him. That’s all I’m asking of you. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Ronald
