Goodbye Jesus
I have a young son*. Ever since he was a baby, I've been practicing Biblical principles in his raising, and he's turning out great!
I gave him a little cross-stitched sampler at his birth that said, "Mommy loves you." I also made sure his father told him that he can feel my love by thinking to me.
