Responded to my baby with the lines...
"I'm glad that I am able to impart some values I have learned from life thru actions and the way I live my life. It(being responsible) is something I've really felt strongly about. I'm glad that I can influence you in that way."
..."When one is able to get a hold of himself and has control over things, it means they have control of their lives. Small things like controlling certain urges really leads to an overpowering feeling. When you know you can tell yourself what to do and not give in to cravings or the urges then you are on your way to controlling your life."

I don't know if I was able to get my message across. I hope I did.
