    Oh my, such wisdom you have shared. I hope you don’t mind but I’ll be passing these on to loved ones who will be blessed by these precious words of love. btw I have recently been privileged to get to know your mother and I know that she has many wonderful words of wisdom also. May God Bless!

    Wow, this is one of the most beautiful parenting letters I have ever read. I don’t make a habit of replying to anyone on social media. But I want you to know that I really treasure what you wrote to your son. I was looking up ideas for what to write to my son on his 21st which is coming up in February. I am going to keep in mind the words of wisdom you shared with Grant as I write my own. Your son is really fortunate to have you as a mom!
    Wishing him and you and your daughters all happiness!

    Wow, I am a single father who raised my son will be 21 and and my daughter already 23 on my own for a long period of divorce and turmoil. I hope you don’t mind me using some of this content on my sons 21st. English is my second language and your beautiful words are so suitable to my life as a christian who believe all blessing are coming from God. Thank God for your talents so someone like me can use your contents to tell my true story to others.
