John,

Oh, where do we start??? We can’t help but think back to your early years …. racing scooters in the driveway after preschool, bull riding on Dad’s back (“Let’s go boys!”), wearing football cleats and stocking caps year round. We have had so much fun watching you grow and we’re so blessed to be your parents. You are blessed, too. You have many amazing qualities and talents, and you have used them to be successful in school, friendships and sports. As you move out into the world, keep using those gifts. We know you have all you need to not only make your dreams come true, but to make the world a better place. GO FOR IT!!!! And ALWAYS remember: we love you to infinity and beyond times one million, we’re so very proud of you, and we believe in you.

Love,
Mom and Dad
