I can't tell you how much I appreciate the compliment. I also can not tell you how sorry I am for your loss. He looks like a very fine young man. I am sure your other son is a fine young man as well. It is 10:40 here in Lincolnton, NC. We just got back in from my son's baseball practice about an hour ago. He and my little girl have been asleep for a while now. But I just went in and gave them both another hug and kiss.

You are right when you say that God only loans us and our kids for a while and you never know how long. I always make sure that when I leave the house I hug and kiss my wife and kids before I go. I don't care if it is just before school or if it is 3:30 in the morning and I get called into work. If it were to be the last time they saw me, I would want them to know I left them with a hug and a kiss.

Thanks again for your kind comments.
