To my son Jordan: I just cant believe my little boy has already graduated from college and is now building a life of his own. It all happened so fast, but Im so thrilled for you and for the many adventures, and for the fun, love, and laughter your future holds. If theres a dad more proud of his son than I am, Ive yet to meet him. #rolltide!
