MY SON. I closed my eyes for but a moment and suddenly a man stood where my boy used to be. I may not be able to carry you now in my arms, but I will always carry you in my heart. You have given me so many reasons to be proud of the man you have become, but the proudest moment for me is telling others that you are MY SON. I Love You Now and Forever.

Sheri McGregor MA, Done With The Crying

Then, I realize that the values and the teachings I have given him over the years are more important than any words that I would say now. Catherine Pulsifer, Forever Young
