A time to celebrate
Jeff,
Today Connor completed his last day of High School. After 13 years, from kindergarden to his senior year, he has struggled. Never fitting in, bullied by the guys in his class yet staying loyal. He has grown into a very caring, compassionate young man. He was lost before you came into our lives just 4 1/2 years ago. You taught him how to stand up for himself, to put people in their place, to be a true friend, to respect women ( especially his Mom , me!) And even though you and he had so many issues and arguments, he still considers you more of a Dad in those short years than his biological father has been. You instilled so much in both of the boys.
Today Connor took his last finals and celebrated as he walked into the house at 3:35. And its been quite a few months months since I've seen him happy. Since you passed away and it became just the boys and I again.
I know you are celebrating with him and I know that he feels you with him. Thank you. For all you did for him when you were there and for all the times you will look over him as he grows to be the man he will become. He owes you so much. And so do I!
Love you baby.

Congratulations to your son!! I know Jeff is proud of him. He should be so proud of himself for staying the course to spite the bullying. I am trying so hard to teach my 13 year old that, it is a hard lesson. You should also be proud Mom!! It sounds like you and Jeff raised a wonderful young man. Hugs today, Dawn
Congrats to Connor!!!
Congrats for Connor. I know it hasn\'t been easy for him, and Jeff has made a huge impression on him. I know that he will carry him forever in his heart, and try to live up to the standard that Jeff set. You should be one proud Mama of this impressive young man. Best wishes. Hugs Jane
