This was very sweet, Glenn. We all take different paths to growing up, and different ways of managing changing relationships with our parents. Thanks for sharing Emma's story, and yours.

I love this story. I remember vividly when Jill greeted me in Reno with my RAMP award. She changed my life and opened many career doors. I’m forever grateful. Thank you Jill.

You and Jill have been great parents to all four of your kids. We are so proud of what each of them has accomplished as they have grown. We loved seeing Emma in Jesus Christ Superstar in Tulsa and can't wait to see her on Wednesday night, February 15th, in OKC. You're a great writer Glenn. Thank you for sharing these stories.
