I regret that I no longer have my beloved wife for whom to leave the seat down. If you still have your wife with you, how about just leaving the seat down..as a thanks to God ?
As far as having a son, I thank the Lord for the son He has given me. As I approach my 90th year, he is so caring and helpful..that I feel especially blessed !
...And that goes for his wife and all my grandchildren, all could not be more courteous , helpful and leading lives for which I can only be most grateful.
