Dear Sensei, A quick note of appreciation. It was an absolute joy watching my son get his red bar yesterday. I hope you got the chance to see how much it meant to him. Once you excused him, he ran right over and jumped into my lap. He was beaming all night and when we congratulated him again this morning he smiled and said, ‘Oh, I thought that may have been a dream.’ You and your dojo have played a very positive role in his young life.
