My boy the man

So I am at work and I was looking for and old form I created a few years back, when I ran across this letter. It is the letter I put into Marcos High school graduation card. I just wanted to say how proud I am of him that he remembered the last part of my message. See dads there is hope that your kids will listen... here is the letter

I remember…. I remember the first time I held you in my arms. I remember the little faces you use to make. I remember watching Cujo late at night until you would finally fall asleep. I remember you laughing so hard because each little step you took made a crunching sound during your first snowstorm. I remember your first bike ride and crash. I remember Boy Scouts, baseball, ninja turtles, soccer, flying kites, brief cases and ties. I remember you cried when you got your first C. I remember your first dance. I remember your first girlfriend and your first heartbreak. I remember who your first real love is. I remember never getting a call from a teacher or parent to say you had done something wrong. I remember my heart bursting with pride with each honor and award you received. I remember you hurt when your friends hurt. I remember your stubbornness and independence. I remember because God has blessed me with a little boy only for a short while. I remember that one day he will become a man and I have to let him go and experience the world …... I know that day is here… Now you remember: God first and everything else second.

I love you very much. Dad

Psalm 84:12 O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

peace and thanks for listening.........
