No happier

No happier could I be than to see you enjoying healthy, productive, full lives with a keen and eager eye to the future.

I am proud of you both, your accomplishments, your attitude toward life, and the loving, caring influence you are leaving on the world.

Know that you are always uppermost in my mind and held so dear in my heart.

Love,
Dad

(Dedicated to my children)

    Today I spoke to my eldest son for over an hour on the phone. I just wanted to say how proud of him I am. For all the ups and downs in lifew I feel children are our finest teachers. Cheers, Wendy

    How sweet! I have one child and I love him so much! I can't always wait to get home to see his smile and for him to call me "papa". Like you, I am so proud of my son. I want to see him grow up to be a good man. Thanks Ron!
