I have always been proud of you..and I will never stop. We sure had fun didn't we? I am glad we had all 20 going away parties,bbq's, get togethers,football watching,dinners,meet out for drinks, etc...but mostly I am happy we had all the one on one talks, shooting hoops, singing Karaoke, being silly, long drives to Austin, leaning on each other and asking each other questions or advice. I will make sure your son knows exactly what a great man his father has always been. I love you....and i miss you so much it hurts. Our family has been thru a lot so look out for us from up there, and I will look out for us down here.
