MANUAL LABOR IS GOOD FOR A YOUNG MAN

As Evan is growing up and getting stronger, I'm doing my best to instill good work habits and him. And although he may only be 10, with the life he has lived so far, he is extremely mature for his age...and awfully strong.

He and I love to hang out together and we spend most of our days and one another's company. I do my best to pass along My views and beliefs concerning life love and humanity to him.

One thing about masonry is that it requires strength..... But it also requires patience, perseverance and a lot of practice to become skilled.

This is why I love to bring him to work whenever I can. I think he may enjoy coming more than I enjoy him being there. He loves to learn and as long as he's with me, he loves to work! 😁

We also saw this guy while we were working...a Black Rat snake...evan took these pictures.

AS PROUD A DAD AS CAN BE

Evan is amazing and an absolutely wonderful kid. He is a great worker.

I love you so much bubba! You make me proud every single day! Thank you for everything you do and for being who you are. Never change for anyone, and always continue to love like you do. Remember that your love is your greatest ability and the most amazing thing you(or anyone) can share.
