Looks like you did it right GF. Most times you can see a good upbringing behind the good person. Not always the case, but quite often.

Congratulations to your family!

 

Sounds like a man to be proud of.

 

Well done sir! You, your wife, and your son should all be proud. :thumb:

A second thumbs up for the musical accomplishments!

 

First, sweet guitar, Second your son is something to be very proud of. :thumb: shows a lot about the parents character.

 

Very good ... thanks for posting.

 

I'd be very proud also.. :

Congrats..!

 

congrats on a great son

 

Here is a little bit of info to show how well he places family…:thumb:

He was getting ready to go to Quaker Steak & Lube for some wings with three or four of his friends the other night. His mother & I did not know anything about his plans at that time. He came in the living room where his mom & I were sitting just talking about a few things, the TV was even off.

He asked what we were going to do and I said nothing really just thought we would sit and talk a while and have you join us. Then we could order a pizza or Chinese or Mexican for dinner and just sit and enjoy the evening together. (Our daughter was at the in-laws for two days helping babysit) He just stood there for a sec and started to smile…

The doorbell rang and it was one of his friends with another one in the car waiting. He tells his friends, “Sorry guys but I think I going to stay home with mom & dad tonight instead and just relax with them.” His friend ask him a few times if he is sure but Cole (our son) says yes this is what I want to do tonight…

We told him he did not have to do that since we did not know he already had plans… He did not care…

I have to say many of friends children I would bet would not do that and turn down a night with close friends to stay with “Mom & Dad”…

 

Congratulations, I am hoping that I can raise mine equally well.

 

Gunner-Fisherman, you're making the rest of us feel inadequate now

 

Thank you for the comments... I am proud of both of our children...We just raised them the best we could and they were always involved in church growing up...

All we could was hope we did it right... Sometimes it was hard (with me being in the Army and spent most of the time in the southern hemisphere of the world) But we did what we could as a family every time we could and still continue to do so…

Our daughter is going to be 15 and some think she is 20 already… I told her “I WILL” interview any potential boyfriends/dates… She thinks I’m kidding…!

She looks like “mom” and Cole looks like me… She is musical also, plays guitar, piano, violin, sax, clarinet, flute and now wants to learn drums…

Only advice I can give, do your best ALWAYS with your children and lead by example…

Thank you again everyone…

 

Doing something right there, G.

 

Congratulations. You should be proud. Word of advice,though,buying a set of drums for your kid to learn on can be painful.

 

Great kids GF, may they continue to make you proud.

Good kids! I hope that they are happy and healthy for the rest of their days. Mine are 32 and 31 years old and I still worry about them every minute. Kids, huh?

 

Congrats...I'm sure he will do you proud. :thumb:

 

Congrats. : :

 

What good kids! You and your wife have done something right for him to want to hang out w/ you two instead of his friends. :thumb:

 

Well done Mr & Mrs Gunner.

In this day and age if you kids come out of high school in decent shape parents did ok. You guy hit a grand slam.

Tip of the Stetson

 

Godd job, Gunner. You and the Mrs have every right to be proud. Good parenting will always show in your children. And he should be as proud of you, as you are of him.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
