.......you know the only reason "C" is able to send this (high school) graduation announcement is that you chose to show him the way. We will be forever grateful....... SR

FROM THE GUYS:

.....my parents and I are working things out, maybe not up to your standards, but I am going to give things time to play out and you will be hearing from me again soon. I'm not a chump and I will prove myself. I know I will have to prove to you that I am clean and I damn sure will be. Thank you for everything and I love you.......BM

.....from that point on I finally knew how it felt to have a man in my life that wanted to teach me father things....I tried everything to get around the matters at hand but he saw through it....I really honestly feel like a son to him.

Thanks for the hard work for getting us where we all are. especially for your interesting devotion stories..........RF

I don't know how to begin to show my appreciation for how my life has changed thanks to the tough love at Cove Creek Farm. If you have ever met me, you would know what a REAL knucklehead I was. I have known Chris for about 8 years now, and I have still yet to see someone who is a stronger mentor and understands how to embrace tough love. I have been 100% clean and sober for going on 4 years now, and I know that I would not have stood a chance without the lessons that Chris has shared with all the guys. All of the staff at Cove Creek Farm has a warm energetic embrace that will motivate you to want to change your life.
