Proud of my Son and his Sub

I have to say I am very proud of my son. I was relentless with him, shaping and molding him to make him a class act and fine gentleman. We had are battles but it’s what made him what he is today. Today I congratulated him on his first Rolex that he worked very hard for. I just want to send a shout out to him to let him know how much I love him and how proud I am of him. He picked up a Sub, not sure the model number but it’s newer than mine ��

Thank you all. It feels really good knowing where I came from, how hard I had to fight to get to where I got and to be able to influence my son and have him apply what I taught him to accomplish what he has. Parenting is so necessary and seems to be so absent in the life’s of many. At 19 he is much more mature than most his peers. :)

Duude!! That’s a huge post and I’m sending you my hearty congrats. Way to grow what sounds like a righteous young man. As the parent myself of a 19-year-old, I know personally, but it’s not easy and how important it is.

Make sure you tell him you love him and are proud to his face, not just via TRF.

Congratulations to him on his first Rolex, hopefully the first of many

This is amazing! As a father of a 15 and 13-year-old, I can see the road ahead is full of twists and turns...very easy to veer off. Very very happy for you, huge accomplishment for him and yourself!
