Last night's post from Nick, after some long phone conversations.

I'm sure the lump in my throat is a combination of unspeakable pride in my son's attitude and my heart breaking for him and the end of a dream. 

He didn't think to change his "About" last night, but when your identity is ripped away in the space of one unexpected, shocking moment, it takes a little time to adjust. 

He is rarely on Facebook, but really wasn't sure how to get the word out so he didn't have to repeat the same thing endless times, hence the post.  It's the most expedient way to announce a relationship change, and this most certainly qualifies.
