Yes, please do share your letters as I get NONE! Seriously, I got one letter that said mom, I only have three minutes to write, I love you and I miss you, please tell Anna (his GF) to write. And then a smiley face. :-) Seriously...I wonder if he is sick, or had his wisdom teeth pulled, or if something is wrong.

I am so proud of my son. Sometimes when they are teenagers you wonder if they ever heard a word you said.
I am sharing part of a letter he wrote to his g/f. I am still in tears. What a sweet young man he is. I love that boy so much.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1Corinthians 13:4-8 In a letter Marion sent me he wrote this & he says My Bible verse to you -
