I meant to post a photo earlier of Taylor all dressed up with somewhere to go. A conventional tie wouldn't work with the collar, so he asked his Mother to buy a clip on so he could hang it off the collar. Worked perfectly!

Taylor made it to the Katy Kimelton and Tim Valdez wedding Saturday night, and had the most fun he's had since March 1st. He saw some folks he hasn't seen in a long time, and got to visit with a lot of friends.

After the traditional dances (Bride/Groom, Groom/mother, etc), Tim's mother, Kristi, recognized Taylor and dedicated the song "I Want To Live" to him. The DJ had the song ready to go, so it was apparent that Tim, Katy and Kristi had given it some thought in advance. As the song played, Taylor slow danced with his mother. When time came for the Groom to toss the garter, Tim set it up so that Taylor would get it. Saturday night was Tim and Katy's night. But, they shared some of their spotlight with Taylor - one of the kindest things I've seen in a long time.

What a beautiful photo. Not many teenagers want to be seen with their parents, much less dance with Mom. I am sooooo proud to have been a part of your recovery!

that was so great Al and Susie, you need to bring Taylor back once he's home and on his feet so we can see him..... I know he is so ready to go home....
