Hello Sara,

I'm sitting here in CAWF's office in Managua not even attempting to hold back the tears that your words have evoked.

I think my tendency to smirk at the idea of my partner Lola and I ever marrying is so much defined by my fear of actually mourning the fact that we can't. Reading of your experience made that all the more clear to me.

I congratulate you on your marriage (though a bit past due!), and I'll keep praying for the day when our unions are not only sanctioned by law, but respected and celebrated by all.

Thanks so much for your words.

Best,
Molly
