To make a better world we need youth of character. That means we as parents must practice it first.

In a matter of two and a half weeks we have all of our three children’s birthdays. We've made this unique situation our own as best we can.

As a parent, nothing on earth is worse than losing a child. Give love to any who have faced this nightmare. Hold your children dearly.

Close to this time of gifts, parties, holiday meals, and a general season of excess, it is a good time to translate the idea of gratitude.
