    Massive pride..

    This past week there was a shooting by the school where my son substitute teaches.
    One of the parents of one of his students had some kind words to say about him.

    Never has a father been prouder of his son than I am of mine.

    A true measure of how tall a man stands, is how willing he is to bend over to help a child.

    You have obviously raised your son right. Courage, commitment, and compassion. That's a pretty hard combination to beat.

    And I'm sure his actions have provided an indelible inspiring example.

    Rich, thought I would drop back in and tell you I have told a lot of people about this. We need people like your son to help restore our faith in humanity and I wanted to share.

    Truly a reason to be proud of your son. So many of today's society are so egocentric. It is refreshing to hear about unselfish acts.
