Hey everyone, my son, who is away,(national guard in Iraq) turns 34 on April 3. So, I bought him this card. Tell me what you think.

Don't worry,
you're not getting this to ask
if you're getting enough sleep
or remind you to sit up straight.
Those days are long gone.
thank you very much!!
I just want you to know
how glad I am you're my son
and how lucky I think
the world is to have you in it.
You earn respect
because you honor commitments,
work hard, and play fair.
Your generous spirit and good nature
make you a fine man
and such a source of pride to me.
I'll always treasure a heart full
of memories of "my little boy,"
but with every day that passes,
my appreciation deepens
and my admiration grows
for the remarkable man you are. .
...the son I love so much

Missus

BE BLESSED







Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win.

Missus-

The card is very heartfelt and I'm sure he'll love it.

My uncle and a college friend are over in Iraq right now. I know they love anything I send to let me know I'm thinking of them.

He knows you love him and you're a great mother. Wish him a happy birthday for us.

That makes me think of that new country song.."Letters From Home." It's a very moving song and that verse you're sending is moving too. I'd love to see his face when he reads it. He's blessed to have you for a mother. My mother was good about cards and verses and stuff...I miss her.
