“From my little boy to the gentleman you are becoming…

Watching you grow is one of my greatest joys. My prayer is that God gives your daddy and it the wisdom, strength and grace to keep teaching you the right way and guiding you into the man you are destined to become.

May you grow with a good heart, strong character, wisdom and a love for God. May you always know right from wrong and have the courage to choose right, even when no one is watching.

We love you, we’re proud of you, and by God’s grace, we’ll keep showing you the way.

My boy today, my gentleman tomorrow… forever my baby.”
