it was VERY wow.

And you will appreciate this...

I really felt his heart, and I expressed my gratitude for his courage. I asked if he'd like a hug, and he said yes and stepped straight into my arms. And stayed there, really letting me hold him and thank him for his courage.

Then Matt, who had listened from the dining room, came in and said, "You're a great kid. No, you're a good MAN." And they shook hands.

and this is the part you'll love...

He told Beauty later that he'd gotten both the masculine and the feminine form of response. I was amazed that an 18-year-old would think in those terms. It made me very happy, because of course I do see myself and Matt as exactly that, the embodiment of the poles. Interesting, yes? *smile*

It was just a gorgeous moment in my life. I will always remember it.
