Standing in the Field
Notes from SJS Application Server Field Engineering
Sun has a very colorful past when it comes to open letters. We write them. We receive them. The press has a field day talking about them.
So, given the fact that "Standing in the Field" gets a reasonable amount of traffic from the publicity of blogs.sun.com, I'd like to continue this Sun tradition of open letters.

Dear Mom:
I wanted to take advantage of this public space to tell you how much I love you and I how proud I am to be your son.
I am proud of the values you have instilled in me. I am even more proud that you were able to instill those values so subtly while still allowing me to pick my own paths and make my own mistakes. Growing up I always thought I took after Dad. But as an adult I see how much of you there is in me.
I am proud of your art. I am proud of all of your work: as a mom, as a teacher, as an artist, as a volunteer, and as a citizen.
Thank you for continuing to teach me things as an adult. Thanks for listening to me. Thank you for being an example I can be proud of. Thank you for always being there for me.
In the end, the results speak for themselves. Your children love you and we've both managed to be happy and well adjusted. Our family has a deep bond. We may live further away that you like, but we always feel you near.
Happy Mother's Day. You are the best Mom ever.
