[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 130211, member: 1233"] David, The comment seems a bit curmudgeonly, but something my own grandfather would have said. People today do not write letters the way they used to. Older people tend to place more value on letters than email or other forms of communication. It might be that Justin did not know that he was expected to write back? If Justin wants a relationship with your dad, then he should write and apologize for being so tardy with the letter. You may have to stop and think about why your father and Justin did not meet until Justion was 14. If there is a REASON for this, then maybe encouraging Justin to write back is not the best thing you can do. Just because his father was a good grandpa does not mean your father will be a good grandpa. But learning to write letters IS a good skill, and valuable as an adult. I am sorry your dad was not as enthusiastic as you wanted him to be. I am enthusiastic, Justin seems to be making wonderful progress and thriving at this program!!!! Susie [/QUOTE]
