Jack's papa is special. I think anyone who meets him can tell he's a different sort of fellow. With his "have a great day" and his willingness to see the good in everyone he makes Jack and I proud every day we get to be his family.
Yesterday Zack learned he got Second Year Honors. That combined with his First Year Honors means he will be graduating with distinction at Thursday's ceremony. He also learned that he was one point away from a Baker Scholar (high distinction).
When Zack found out he got into Harvard Business School, we were flooded with stories of couples and families who drifted apart during the demanding HBS years. So Zack and I came to Harvard with a different goal then I imagine most first years arrive with. To leave HBS a stronger and closer family then when we arrived. Over the last two years I have seen Zack work hard, succeed in class, and work even harder to be a father and husband.
So while HBS will be honoring him at graduation on Thursday with distinction, Jack and I will be giving him our highest distinction as a father and a husband! He really is the best.
We are so proud of you Zack for all you have accomplished and for making us feel first in your life each and everyday! We can't wait to see what comes next!
