00:00What I did do is I got into nursing school. I really love doing nursing. I love caring for
00:05people. The area that I particularly like was working with children. I think it was partly
00:10because I just wanted to somehow redeem my own experience of childhood. When I had an opportunity
00:17to work in the refugee camps in Thailand, that was a very significant time for me. I really felt it
00:23was a very useful time. While I was there, I met a woman. Now, even though I really had strong
00:30feelings towards men, I felt very attracted to. And I spoke to her about my feelings. And I said to
00:40her, you know, I do have feelings towards men. But I think we both felt at the time that it
00:45was
00:45something that we could kind of pray it away. It wouldn't be something significant in our marriage
00:50and we could go ahead and get married. So we committed to each other. We got married. We
00:55were happily married for 23 years. And I was faithful to her. And I loved her dearly. And
01:02we ended up having three children, including my daughter, who was adopted from Cambodia. We
01:09both went and worked in Cambodia with different organisations at different times. After that
01:15time, though, I think in some ways it drew us even closer together. You know, we'd gone through
01:20a significant crisis together and still came out the other end and still really in love.
