Who'd have thunk?

As we're raising our children, we know there will come a time that it's time for them to be on their own.

Today I have realized that my job as a mom will never end, but my job to be sure you're ready to be on your own has come to an end. You're ready.

You have come to be a very caring, loving young man. I could never put into words the pride I feel for you. You've had choices in life at a very difficult time in your life. I get compliments on what a wonderful job I have done to raise you. I can take very little of that credit. All I could really do was provide the structure, accountability and responsibility and reinforce it without wavering. You've had to have the desire to make the right choices. You've done that. You've succeeded far beyond my expectations.

Yes, you've made your mistakes. Haven't we all? As hard as it is to watch you make your mistakes, I've had to let you do it. You wouldn't grow otherwise.

You will begin your journey to your future tomorrow. Continue to pray! I love you, Son.
