The Real McCoy
---
December 22 2005
K had waited for this moment for a long time. Both excited and nervous, she stood before Judge McCoy and answered his questions. One by one, she came closer to what she's wanted since she was a little girl - a shorter first name.
I sat in the back and watched as a proud and anxious father. The young woman sitting next to me asked, "She's your daughter, right?" I nodded and whispered, "Yes".
Minutes later, the formalities were completed and we left the judge's chambers.
K had a smile that said it all. It was done.
She was finally herself.
