Many kind thanks, my friend. As a mother, I'm sure you know this feeling. Our kids need to know that the great big scary future isn't all that scary. Appreciate your thoughtful and encouraging words.

There is nothing more beautiful and deeply felt and highly esteemed than the insight and rich life of rewarding experience, a father passing on such beauty to his son! What is more amazing a way than fine poetry a great poet through which conveys priceless messages! John, I salute the depth and the beauty of both, your poetry and your bond with your son! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings.. My deepest regards and blessings.
