Gift: Max

To my son Max:

Making the starting line up didn't make you a man, neither did being the strongest, fastest, or having the best six-pack(!) Being a man is not about raising yourself high above the rest, but bending down low enough to wash your friend's feet. Real men don't build their own kingdoms, or egos. They're builders of hearts, lives and relationships. I will never look back on my life and think, "I spent too much time with my boys." I'm so proud of you. I just wanted to tell you in case I forget at your graduation.
