Dylan is my only son. He is and always was the light of my life. As a teenager, Dylan floundered and made some bad decisions. He had two accidents car between 2009 and 2010. The second accident was life changing and left him with a TBI and stroke. He was in facilities for 10 months before coming home. He progressed more than expected and was very high-functioning. Dylan never accepted his limitations and had a positive attitude about his new status. He was a light of encouragement, love, and laughter to everyone he encountered and befriended. There will never be another Dylan and I miss him painfully every day. I wish I had understood what he needed from me more while I had him. I guess I did my best with the knowledge that I possessed at the time, but it seems very insufficient now. He would be so excited about being able to help others. Sometimes I think he lived on a higher plane of understanding than everyone else after the accident and he had a deep faith. He loved and looked out for those who were important to him and those who just needed someone to care.
