Challenges you have been blessed with?

[Marc]

-The early death of my father. He died from HIV mixed with cancer. He was homosexual but grew up in a conservative Christian family and was never allowed to confront that aspect of himself. He became two people of extremes; one that was the perfect Christian pastor/dad and the other was an extreme indulgence of sexuality with many many men. He was never accepted for who he was and made extreme choices instead of finding some balance. It also led to a host of lies in my family and gossip from the church.

-Leaving all I knew for the sake of following what I knew to be true.
