My name is Rachel and I am here to start the comeback stories of my life. Before the comeback, came many highs, lows, and the really low lows. As my life has been extremely hard to navigate. I thought getting these stories out in the open would help heal my heart and my soul.

It all started in 1978 in Youngstown Ohio. Then came the loud cries of a beautiful baby girl...me! I had no idea what lied ahead with which the family I was born into. Evangelical, Bible believing, King James only family of God. That is fine and all, but as I grew little by little so did the girl sitting next to me in class. The girl I played with on the playground and the girl who became my best friend. The desire within me had to do with more than being friends, but I thought she was so beautiful, I wanted to be closer to her. I wanted to do more than play, take walks, or talk on the phone. I liked her. Like girls liked boys, I really liked her. What is wrong with me?? This cant be right. What do I do?

Then came the prayers that God would forgive me and give me a new heart. I did all I could do for God. I became the best Christian ever. Why me?? Why did God have to make me different? I did my best to make it go away. At this time I did not understand what gay meant. All I knew was that I was different and why did this have to happen to me? As the years passed came marriage, kids, divorce, life, and death. Struggles to push through life living in a family that would rather have a drug addicted child than a gay child echoed through the house as FOX news played on the television. Well, this is my first blog that leads to the Comeback stories of my life.
