This is an amazing time. I have so much to be grateful for. My son has, in the last year, become a man. It was not by accident, either. He chose it. One choice at a time, Mason has become a man. These are not easy choices, nor are they few. To become a man requires that you make many difficult choices that are consistantly wise and often mean a measure of short term sacrifice. Growing up is a conscious effort. One cannot be compelled to do it. You must chose it and do it all on your own. It's a powerful process to watch and so rewarding for a mother to see her son do it so well. So reassuring to realize that your son understands the concept of self discipline and the desire to do what's right. Those things, along with a strong work ethic, an ability to think clearly and critically and a love of people are a foundation that will help him find success in life no matter where life finds him. This is my boy. How I love and admire him.
