A young man of good character. What parent or grandparent could ask for more?
Grandson Ben was honored recently at school in a “Blue Carpet Rocket P.R.I.D.E. Rally” for exemplifying Peace, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence. (Blue carpet because his school colors are blue and white, and Rocket Rally because they are the Westside Rockets.)
We couldn’t be prouder of our miracle boy!

“Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.” (Heraclitus)

Thank you so much! Doctors diagnosed the problem just in time. We were told we would have lost him if the diagnosis had come later.
