I have three very successful children, 26,28 and 32 plus two grandbabies. As I look back at those years of staying home with my children, teaching them, driving them to sports, instilling the work ethic, the only regrets is to have known what I know now, have patience with them, listen to them, really listen and it is good to sometimes repeat back to them what they said, so they know you listened. If you do that with a honest heart, they will listen to you when they grow older and they will come to you for your opinion and advice about life.
Thank you! The most important part of all of this was finding a decent, God-fearing, honorable, and trustworthy man. Everything after that was easy.
