     The headlines of the local paper spread the unbelievable news that Timmy killed himself, 17 years old, 7 months away from graduation. (This story deals with suicide, but that's not the REAL story) Timmy had excellent grades, good attendance, he was friendly and according to many people that knew him, he was the every day high school boy. But Timmy's story isn't unique, it isn't the exception, Timmy's story is the rule when you are young and gay and male in the public school system where religion still dominates the thought process and the prejudices of school employees; principal, dean, teachers, etc., encourage children with similar thought patterns to act in ways that harm or kill other students. In this case it is not that the teacher, the minister, the police did not see what was happening but rather that they did not care what was happening.

     Something happened by the river that day. Two strangers became friends, two lonely boys found a kindred spirit. Like the little birch trees, they turned their faces towards the sun for the warmth. Like the saplings, the boys felt the first nourishment, not from soil and water, but from knowing someone liked them just for who they are.
     Life really does pass by in the blink of an eye. Read along and follow the path of life with Billy and Simon. The things they dreamed of when they were young, the fear that kept secrets, going different directions ... it's all here in this wonderfully told story.
     NOTE: 17 July 2018 - Just read this story again and the tears are rolling down my face. I'm a sucker for this type of story and Grasshopper certainly has filled the bill! What an awesome story of love!

     The school prided itself on being inclusive. The administration knew I was gay. They had no problem with my gender identity. Teachers, no matter how they identified gender-wise, were not interested in kids that way. Me? I just wanted to finish grading these final exam stories and relax.
