There is no greater joy than watching your child growing up
No greater pride than in seeing him turn into a man
No greater sorrow than in letting him go
We seemed to rush through life hurrying to get you here or there
Then try to stop time when we realize that goodbye is close
We will look at the many pictures, with love
Sort through the many keep forever items and smile
Watch the many home movies and cry
You are off to make your own path in life
To make lasting memories
To have new adventures
Just remember that YOU are OUR great adventure
Our lasting memory
And though you leave to start your new life
Know that you'll be in our hearts and thoughts
Until we see you again.
Good luck to you

I would say I was in awe... but Im not. My son gets his sensitivity from his dad. BIG hearts make great men. I am fortunate to have 2 men in my life with big hearts. I love them both!

Fred,
That is what you call a life story. These are what we live through with our children and it's how we hold our memories. Zach is a wonderful young man and he is beginning his own life story. I applaud the job that you and Tina have done raising him into the man he has become.
