Thanks for sharing your perspective and your story, which I thought was very well written and engaging. As you can probably see, my own hair is mostly gray. OK, mostly white. You can’t really tell much about how sticky my fingers may or may not be, but they are pretty fast on a keyboard.

My extended family has become quite diverse and “mixed” over the years, so I’m always interested in learning about the challenges others face.

The lone negative reaction I’ve seen to your post so far baffles me.
