Ken was my voice teacher. I never admired anyone more than him. He meant the world to me. It would be safe to say that we did not have a typical teacher/student relationship.

We were the only two kids with lesbian parents‚ so we were close as could be. When I was in the fourth grade‚ my mom had a nervous breakdown. Her significant other had left us‚ and
