I give parenting classes to help parents keep their kids out of the justice system. A lot of the parents in my parenting classes are parents of juvenile delinquents. One of the things I've told them is to not worry about the mistakes their teenagers make because it's better that they make mistakes earlier in life rather than later. I could never have imagined how true those words were.
In April 2015, my middle son, made a huge mistake at the age of 23 is now serving a 5 year prison sentence. Watching this unfold has been surreal, but nonetheless, has been very real. My son has always been awesome and continues to be awesome where he is now. I have received several letters from fellow inmates and today, I thought I'd share one.

Hello, My name is XXXXXX and I am a friend of your son. The reason for this letter is to give you my thanks and let you know I am lucky to know your son. He has such a big heart and soul. I'm sure it has a lot to do with how he was raised. :) It meant a lot to me when he was over here with me and I know the others over here miss him. :) I also want to give my thanks for the board games you have gotten for us. :) I will not take too much of your time. Take care and have a wonderful week.
Respectfully,
XXXXXX
