To Whom It May Concern:

I'm writing a letter of recommendation for Jason George Osmond, not just because he's my son and needs this letter for a requirement, but because I'm deeply and sincerely respectful of him!  I have always known he was gifted in many ways.  He was my helper with my other sons, Eric and Marcus.  He was the one I went to, to get an honest opinion.  He was the one I listened to, to get a better awareness of how to be a dad. 

I am happy on one hand, and a little sad on the other, when I say I put him on a pedestal as an example to others.  It's hard not to be prideful a little.  Last week he gave a talk in church, and I about busted my buttons.  How can you put into words, when people (like Andy Williams' technical director) tell you how well he works, how smart he is, how nice he is to others, how talented he is, etc.  It doesn't do him justice to even write a letter about him. 

What more can I say?  I love him with all of my heart!  Not just because he's nice, and talented, and gets along with people, but because I really know he belongs to me and I'm honored to know who he really is.
