I'd posted the other day that I felt impressed to write & mail actual letters to some of the

important people in my life.  This is the one for my oldest son:

August 24, 2019

Devon,

I want to say how much I love you.

Sometimes in life I find that I think good things about people in my head, but fail to ever communicate those thoughts.  I want to make sure I explicitly let you know how much I respect and appreciate these specific things about you:

·       Your love and affinity for Rachel

·       Your diligence to do that which you believe is right even when it’s inconvenient

·       Your commitment to prayer

·       Your tenderness as a father

·       Your pursuit after learning how to be a good father and husband

·       Your allegiance to the principals/lifestyle of honor, duty and country

·       Your enjoyment of learning

·       Your commitment to being a great leader-to take ownership and to invest in those you lead

·       Your appreciation of music

·       Your whole hearted following after Christ as you know Him

I’m sure grateful to be your mother,
