         (Dad:) I know you know we all love you. We love you a whole lot. Your parents love you, your brothers and sisters love you, your friends love you, I love you, Mama loves you, Peter loves you, and we all want to see you continue to grow and be happy and fulfilled in your service for Jesus.
         You're a good kid and I'm real proud of you! I'm proud of you for making the decision to return to the Family. You're one of His princes, and He's got a great mission for you! I know that you've seen life isn't a bed of roses--it isn't out there in the System and it isn't here in the Family either--but in the Family you've got a whole lot more support, a lot more love, and a reason for living. In the Family, you're living for others and helping make other people happy, which in turn makes you happy!
         So relax! Don't worry about trying to be happy or trying to "make it." Just love Jesus and love others and the rest will come!

         Oh, how I love you, I do!
         The Lord's gonna do some mighty things through you!
         Just keep holding on, have faith above all,
         And He'll hold onto you and pick you up when you fall.
         Just remember, your Grandpa is cheering for you!
         And when you reach the finish line, we'll shout "Hallelu!"

         Ha, ha! Well, that's just a little poem to let you know that I love you and I'm rooting for you and I'm praying for you! I've got a lot of faith in you and I know you're going to make it. Keep it up! Keep fighting! Keep serving Jesus and He'll serve you--well! I love you! Love, Grandpa.
