Just wanted to tell you that in our counsel session today the boys had many useful insights today, just good touchstones about how to lead your life. The counselor was very impressed with their maturity and asked them where they had learned the things they were referencing. Each time, they said, “Oh, we talked about it in ML.” Thanks to you and everyone at ML. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. It takes a village! And we’re lucky to be in such a great village.”
