I think Ranger Abell9 is all misty eyed thinking about what the future Ranger did to the cat...tears of joy?

Actually Mom....Im just amazed at how fast life goes and having kids myself I can remember when they were small and so dependant on us for everything. Then one day I have a daughter who is a Physical Therapist, a daughter who is a Fireman, and a 14 year old son who can shoot the pecker off a piss ant at 400 yards. And that cat thing...uh....that was me.
You have a handsome boy. I know it causes you pride but misgivings at times about his chosen profession. Mom, what he will learn as a Ranger, experience as a Ranger, do as a Ranger...it will define the parameters of what he is forever. This is.....a good thing because he will not accept ANYTHING at face value. You drive on chick and tell the boy your Podna's here are proud of him.
