<p>Oh my gosh, what is wrong with me?? This should probably be posted as a blog and I will likely copy it as one but I cannot function right now... I am a blubbering wreck. I am so proud of Josh that words cannot express the way that I feel; yet I can't stop crying.</p>
<p>This is something extremely personal to me but I wrote him the following letter tonight to give to him after graduation on Friday:</p>
<p>"My dearest Joshy,</p>

<p>"My dearest Joshy,</p>
<p>Hi bub. I know that I don't have to write letters anymore as our only means of communication but I wanted to write this last one... for now anyway. :)</p>
<p>Words cannot begin to express the <strong>pride</strong> that I feel for you. I am truly <strong>HONORED</strong> to call you my son. I am utterly beside myself and at a loss for words... *please bear in mind that is extremely difficult for me because, as you know, I always seem to have something to say. Hehe.. We have dealt with a lot of hardship together and you have been through more than I ever had to experience at your age... yet, you have managed to excel, despite all of that, and have accomplished more than I could have ever dreamed of.</p>
<p>Before you were even born, I knew in my heart that you were someone extremely special. I knew that you would become something truly great and deeply impact those around you. You have a gift. You have an unrelenting spirit that defines who you are and makes you the person that you are today... you have always been an "old soul", as Grandma Brown would say. To me, you are the <strong>greatest</strong> and <strong>most respected man</strong> that I have <strong>ever</strong> had the <strong>privilege</strong> to <strong>know</strong> and to <strong>love</strong>.</p>
<p>Where did the time go? One day, you were this curly headed little mommy's boy who would sing, "I love you all my heart and all my pieces, and all my hugs and kisses" and suddenly you are this man... <strong>this man who truly takes my breath away!.</strong> *I sincerely cannot catch my breath right now. <strong>Call 911,</strong> I am hyperventilating!! :) lol...</p>
<p>I love you more than I can begin to explain. You are my <strong>son,</strong> you are my <strong>sailor,</strong> and you are my <strong>HERO!"</strong></p>
