He's a good kid.
He picks only good people to hang with. He engages you in conversation. He cleans up after himself w/o being asked. He's a good driver and a man of his word. He is a musical talent with a servant's heart. He's even-tempered and thoughtful. He knows how to have a good time and manages to come home uninjured. He does great impersonations and loves to make people laugh. He can spot a good girl and knows how to treat her like a lady. He's a worshiper and loves God.
Hmmm... How did this happen? Where did the boy come from? The best of his Mom? The best of his Dad? I'm not sure, and it really doesn't matter, because when it comes to him, he is the one who makes the rules.
The other day he downloaded Freebird. Typical of a budding young man on the verge of life. A line in the song goes "For I must be travelling on, now, Cause there's too many places I've got to see." He will move on soon. It's hard for me to accept at times but deep inside I feel confident about all his tomorrows. I can't wait to see what he'll do next. You watch, it'll be great.
We had him for 18 years and now... world...it's your turn! Watch closely, you will be impressed.

You still have him, your relationship has changed, he still needs your influence in his life. I really wish my dad and mom was around today.
Your children are so fortunate to have you as a father. How many kids even hear their fathers say that they love them in a lifetime, let alone write about how much they love in a blog for all to see. If I could have picked any person to be my dad...I would have picked someone like you. Even my own children notice how much you love your kids and they admire that. You make us all very proud!!
