Dear sweet Sue,
I saw your son the other day. My how he is changing, growing, and becoming a fine young man that you would be proud of. He has lost weight and still carries that joy-filled smile that he always wore when you were around. You would be so proud of him, as I know you are, looking down from Heaven.
I wanted to cry after he left the store. Why? Because I wished so badly that you were still here to see how much he has changed over this last year. I still believe with all of my heart that God has a special purpose for your son, a special graciousness, and meaning for his life. Perhaps he will be more of a blessing to others than you or I can even realize. He has been a blessing to me, just by his outward grace, humility and love.
You did a great thing to bring such a fine man into this world, and this world is a better place because you and he are in it.
With love,
Your friend
