To Tresson Cook-Gallardo:
Congratulations Joey. It has been a wonderful journey with you.
Together we have traveled to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Texas, Washington, and Idaho.
Together we have attended basketball, baseball, soccer games and track meets.
I’ve watched you grow over the years in so many ways, but my greatest joy was watching you grow into a young man. You have accomplished more than I could have ever imagined and now you are set to accomplish even more. Regretfully, we will not travel together as you engage your future but, I won’t be far behind you in my thoughts.
I’m very proud of you.
I’m very lucky to have had you for a son.
Dad
