I hope our examples have taught our children enough so that they will succeed in all aspects of life. I pray that God will lead them and protect them. I thank you for your openness in sharing your feelings too. I hope your child recognizes the love you have for him :) I recently wrote a dedication to my son who will graduate June 11th and I found yours :) Isnt is awesome to share with the world the love of your child.

A nice tribute. Your son sounds like a wonderful young man with all the right qualities to get him through life, and a loving mother and father who have nurtured him well. A nice tribute.

He wondered aloud if Tyler and Spence know how special they are to you. I told him... They know. Of course, they know. Thanks, as always, for sharing! Read this to “the Code man” tonight.

I read once that the greatest gift a parent can give is the "parental blessing," which is a convoluted way of saying that I'm going to allow my child to be the person they choose to be. In my case, that's been easy, because my sons have both made wonderful choices, and even when they didn't do what I wanted, they made choices that were mature, and good for them. - Tim Thank you to all.

I wish my parents could have given me such a graduation gift. There can be no greater love than that which recognises a child and sets it free. What a wonderful message to send.

I've heard small children say "When I grow up I want to be...." and just now reading this post I recall you asking in another post what one of us would want to be when we grow up and what we strive to be on a daily basis. Smiling now with my answer which isn't at all superficial... "I want to be the kind of parent that bringing honor to my family and communicates love to them." In life we are surrounded by so many examples, given many opportunities, to see, touch, feel, and with God's grace make a difference. Today, I want to say Thank You for your living example of what a Father's love looks like in action. I have noted this before and I truly hope one day you will do more than consider it... Write the book! The book that has the signature of parental love, wisdom, humor, insight, and tender mercies. Your family is ever blessed... Thank you for sharing this insight into your heart.
