Alan Willy Update

Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 481 views 11 comments
I wanted to share an update about Alan’s progress. This is with his permission and input. On Friday of last week, Alan saw the Doctor and reports that they are pleased with the healing of the break. Plans continue that the cast my come off in April. But everyone is pleased with the progress.

Alan has moved permanently into Stephen’s home. And they are very happy. Alan is sorry he hasn’t been around much lately. Between the holidays and studying he has been a little busy. So what is he studying? Well, Alan is scheduled to take his test for his GED later this month. He has been practicing and based on what he and Stephen have told me he will ace it. What comes after? Alan is planning on enrolling in the local junior college to prepare for a new opportunity in his life. Such a go getter he is. Makes me smile every time I think about it.

Alan spent both Christmas day and New Year’s day with Stephen’s family. And he is now a part of their lives. They care about him as much if not more than many of us do. For those who haven’t been to his page, Alan’s big Christmas present is a gorgeous girl named Holly. You can see her picture here: http://www.gayboystube.com/galleries/my-special-christmas-gift-210907.html Alan reports that she is growing up fast and seems to take after her Dad (Alan). Always rambunctious and getting into trouble. Not sure how I am feeling about Alan reminding me that I now have a granddaughter.

Alan and Stephen rung in the New Year with friends from Home Depot that the worked with. Alan reports that they watched the ball drop in NYC and played card until the wee hours.

Finally, for those that have been concerned about how Home Depot and their insurance company would treat Alan, as of today they have done their duty appropriately. At the same time, Alan does now how legal representation to make sure that nothing will go wrong in any settlement activity. And, I do know that he is represented well and will be taken care of.

Feel free to leave any comments or thoughts for him either here or on his wall.

Thomas (or as Alan would say Dad)

Thank you everyone for your comments. I have shared them with Alan. And he asked me to tell you all thank you from the bottom of his heart. He love you all and appreciates very much all of your support for him. He hopes to be back to share updates soon. But he has been a busy young man in the real world.

And on a personal note, I am deeply appreciative of all of your caring and concern for him. Alan has become a very special person in my life. Just by being who he is, he has had a tremendous impact on me personally. And while I know it seems strange, he has become my son. And that has made me a very proud Dad.

Hi Thomas! This is a great post my friend. I must tell you, I did’t know Alan... After reading your post i went to see his profile and I was completely amazed about this young guy’s life story. I’m so happy that he found good peoples to take care of him and love him. That is a story that is happening so often when parents don’t accept their child as a gay boy and get rid of them like he was just a piece of sh... I’ve known some boys like Alan here in Montreal when I did NA meetings and Alan seems like a very determined young man. I hope he recovers completely from his accident and gets going toward his dreams in April. I hope he will accept my request for friendship. Thanx for sharing this with us Thomas. - Rob
