Robin and I are certainly blessed and today we sincerely want to share our appreciation of our oldest son, Danny, on his 17th birthday. When he was young, he nearly always had his little hand in mine. That went on for years. Today we don't hold hands, but we do shake hands, squeeze hands and use those same hands to put on the shoulder of one another. Now though, I am impressed by the size of his hand... they are huge. I love it that my hand now gets lost in his. As his Dad and I am sure Robin would echo the sentiment, I cannot help but admire what he is becoming. Danny is extremely honest and he has never been able to hide his feelings. In the past that would sometimes be a burden. Not that he acted negatively, but rather truthfully. I believe now that is a great asset when guided by the Wisdom of God.
Danny...we as your family love you and admire you and Danny, as your Dad, I want you to know that I am thankful that I get to call you son. "Godspeed Son!" Here is to looking up to you in more ways than just stature.
