A Good Night To Be A Dad

[Jon Payne]

My son graduated last night! From left to right: my son Jonathan, me Jon, my best friend since childhood Shane, and his beautiful daughter Madison. It's hard to believe this day has come and now past. Shane and I have been best friends and more like brothers since grade school. I taught a skinny little glasses wearing girl how to fish and she grew up to be my Madison. My son now towers over me and trust me, has the Warriors Soul.

Congratulations Jon! I am currently about 17 1/2 years away from this moment with my boy, but I hope I have as much to be proud of as you do when I get there!

Fantastic! What are their plans??

And how many hairy legs have you all "disappeared" for messing with that beauty???

Congrats Jon, pretty cool to experience with your best friend...quite a Tribe.

Prayers and best wishes to your kids!

Madison is going straight to college locally. She is an exceptional dancer, incredibly intelligent (get's that from me) and probably the next world's most beautiful super model. Dakota has a full time job as a body man in a local body shop. He will be learning and working toward owning his own shop and is in training as our property manager. He is extremely talented and intelligent, but more of a road scholar. I expect him to take night courses and courses online. He does not enjoy the traditional classroom style education. I suspect he will be his own boss and forge his own path. As he gains more life experiences I would not surprise me if he follows in some of my foot steps. I don't have any desire for him to go into law enforcement or the military nor do I encourage him to do either. It is very impressive to watch him operate a variety of small arms; of course he's had exposure to training and tactics from a much younger age than most I would suspect.
Fantastic! What are their plans??

Todd, it doesn't quite translate into the written word, but Cullin Smith is my best friend. Shane is more like a brother if that makes sense.
