The Art Of The Handwritten Note

This was stolen from Facebook.

It was posted by a lady that I know -- it is a note written to her son by, I assume, a Decatur High School administrator.

I'm sure she posted it because she is proud of her son. She should be. I would be thrilled. However, I was struck by the time given by, and kindness of, the author of the note. (I don't know the person. Promise.) But what a better world it would be if we just took out a pen every once in a while and jotted down heartfelt thoughts of encouragement and praise.
