One of the first photos we have of the two of them together
There was a video circulating this week of Isaac coming through the kindergarten building on his "senior walk". He didn't just acknowledge Victor, he picked him up and chatted with him a bit. Victor, for his part, held on like a baby koala.
I cried every time I watched it.
I won't tell you how many times I watched it.
But these last couple of weeks have held many of those moments as these two finished their high school careers in marvelous and mature ways.
One was Prom King and has been getting in as much socialization with friends as he can. Friendships and connections have been very important to him through the years. It will definitely be difficult to leave all of these friendships behind but I have no doubt he will quickly make new ones in the fall.
He didn't say a word until he came home

The other has had some last concerts; last time conducting as intern with the middle school orchestras, last time as principal violist with the Harrisburg Symphony Youth Orchestra, and last concert with the high school orchestra. He received a very special scholarship, the Seth Zaiser Memorial Scholarship, and should be proud of the comments said about him, "Not only is he one of the most accomplished musicians that has come through this school but he is also one of the kindest students you will meet."
Always, always trying to get the Good Doctor

Isaac was presented with the Seth Zaiser Memorial Scholarship by
Seth's parents, George and Pam.
We celebrate their victories over the past years but we also celebrate who they are and who they are becoming. At the same time, we mourn because there should be King "triplets", not "twins" graduating tonight. But we know that none of their stories is over and there is a plan for all of them, a plan for good, and a plan for redemption. We do not lose hope.
