Christmas Gift

Just framed for Christmas a note DH got from our second son for his birthday. This son has been a drill seargent, and also has helped run the program over his 20+ years in the Army Reserves. The note reads:

Dad, Thank you for teaching me to be a good father and person in general. I have taken what you gave me and passed it on to my children. I can easily say I'm proud of them. I see many examples of kids raised wrong, without a sense of responsibility or duty. You gave me those characteristics and enabled me to be successful in life.

When I think of all the people I've trained, I know they take a bit of me and incorporate into their lives; so they also get a bit of you and your lessons. I'd like to think lives have been saved because of it.
