Proud parent
As regular visitors know, one of my children is a son who is 18, is a poet and musician and a free thinking bohemian type.
His high school graduation just took place. Here is a photo of him with his date - I have to say I think they are both stunning... and just a little bit hip. (Click to embiggen)
I like what he did with my never-used tuxedo jacket. I like what she did with some Balinese silk.

Here's one of his recent poems since I'm here anyhow ...
A Life
He thinks he knows me
She thinks she knows me
They think they know me
But how could this be
When in my own eyes
I’m still a mystery?
Your life is not my life
My life is not her life
Her life is not his life
His life is not your life
Your life is not my life
Move a rock
Pick a flower
Plant a tree
Kick a pine cone
Live a life

They look funky!! And good poem - something along the lines of what I've been thinking offlate. :) Creative kid you've got there gary...with his wardrobe too!
What a brilliant pair!
Blame it all on Waldorf and Anthro?
No, nevermind Gary, just joking - brilliant by their own means!
Thanks for sharing.

Yes Zee - you can attribute much of the look to borders, square crayons and an understaning of temperments!
Ryan looks grand ………..and that’s a lovely looking partner he has !! I loved the poem which goes well with the picture, I think it’s the best one you have posted from Ryan so far!!
damn, they look good.
my son was growing his hair, and just cut it off, and my daughers too (but they donated their's to locks for love). between the three I think they've lost 30".
Good poem, I think the repetition is weighing it down a little - pushing the point too hard. The last stanza is excellent, as is the overall sentiment. If he were to take it down to the barest words I think it would come across with more effect. Its a simple poem, make it with simple words. - eekk! sorry for the review, force o' habit. Ignore me completely now..... ;-)

The poem ... I wish my father could understand ... I wish he could see that it's not a replica I am meant to be

Congratulations to Ryan! I know you must be very proud, Gary.
I think your son seems independent & creative, and he will probably make a real difference in the world.
I loved the poem.

They're a smashing and unique looking couple.
Ryan is quite an expert on life already, at the ripe age of 18. He knows more about life than many people older than he is.
