A Night to Remember

Saturday, February 8, 2025

Last night was a milestone—Judah’s first ever prom-type event. A night wrapped in music, laughter, and a kind of magic that words can barely hold. For our autistic son (for context, he is on the spectrum), this was more than just a dance; it was a moment of connection, a step into something new, something social, something big.

And he did so well. He had so much fun. He looked so grown up.

It’s emotional, seeing the slow-motion development of connection—how it unfolds in its own time, in its own way. These are the moments that remind us that progress isn’t always linear, but it’s always happening. A glance, a movement, an unspoken understanding between people who see each other, really see each other.

Renee and I even snuck a selfie—because, of course, we had to capture this night too. And here’s a video of Judah walking the red carpet, a moment that felt larger than life.

Last night was a reminder that joy finds its way. That love, in its quiet and patient way, keeps showing up. And that Judah, just as he is, is extraordinary.
