An ordinary Saturday in The Planet was always draining but given how today had begun Kit now found herself completely exhausted.   She sat at her desk and eyed the white envelope that was in front of her.  This is as good a time as any she thought as she made herself comfortable and rested her tired feet up on the desk.

Kit Porter…as in like um THE KIT PORTER!

Hey lady, I thought I’d greet you in the same suave manner I did when I first met you!  Do you remember that night?  My god I was such a bumbling idiot.  Truth is I still am I’m just lucky enough to have found this amazing group of women who don’t seem to mind!

Your story is such an inspiration Kit.  When I think back to that time when we first met, I remember a woman who was really a complete mess.  No offence, I was still totally star struck but at that time you didn’t really have your life in order and you were pretty dependant on the support that Tina and Bette used to give you … even if you did pretend you didn’t need or in fact want it at the time. 

Anyway, my point is now look at you.   You have this incredible business which is not only the source of your income but which is also a reflection of your generous spirit.  You have embraced this community and made it your own even though the thing that we all think is what draws us together you don’t even share with us.  People who come into The Planet and don’t know better or don’t see you with Angus just assume that you must be gay.  Who else would put so much heart into creating a place for us all to feel that we belong?

Speaking of Angus, look what you found yourself there.  He seems to be one of the good guys Kit and he loves you.  He really loves you, we can all see that in the way he looks at you.  You deserve that love as much as anyone else I know, so you make sure you let him love you ok?

The most incredible transformation though is how you have become the one who offers the support now.   We come to you in the haven that you have created and we know that no matter what we’ve done or how we’ve acted we won’t be judged.  That’s not to say you won’t tell us when we’re out of line and try and set us straight…hey there’s no better woman than you to do that right?  When it comes down to it though probably because of your own past you seem to understand better than most that good people make bad mistakes and if you know someone is a good person you don’t let their bad mistake or their bad decision change your perception of them.
