BY PAMELA JO BOWMAN, MESA ARIZONA — Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.” – Douglas MacArthur

My son Ben returns. Time will tell if he understands what real weakness is, what courage really is, what humility really is. Time will tell.
