After much prodding, tonight Dylan shared a photo of his prom night and his date, Izzy. We celebrated his graduation tonight with a party and about 30 old friends. Everyone loves Dylan and it's easy to see why. He's a very smart and funny young man, who is gentle and kind to everyone. He has lots of ideas and interests. He gives great hugs.
As I watched all of the Moms and Dad and friends come over to congratulate him tonight, hug him and hand him envelopes with cards and checks, the emotions were so palpably genuine that I know he knows that people see him for who he is and love him exactly for being such an unusual character in our lives.
There's nothing phony about this young man. I don't know the girl in the photo, Izzy, but she has very good taste, IMHO, is choosing her prom date.
Dylan is now trying to decide between his two remaining college options -- Santa Barbara Community College and the University of Montana.
