I'm a father...four great kids...I'm lucky
No, they are not future world leaders
nor doctors, or lawyers or Indian chiefs
but they are good people and good citizens
is there a secrete to being a parent
I think so
love them more than you love yourself
Absolutely..love them and they will surely shine like pennies (and doctors and lawyers aren't necessarily the great and the good) Jae
ReplyDeleteyes Jae, Doctors and lawyers do not necessarily make good people but so many that I know feel their children are not successful unless they make the big bucks. I feel mine are successful just by being good people.
DeleteSo absolutely true! One of the thngs I admire most in my husband (who isn't the father of my children - we both brought kids to our marriage) is that he is a good father. Sounds like you know the secret, too!
ReplyDeleteWe raised two of mine, two of hers and one of theirs and all received the same amount of love and encouragement.
DeleteLove certainly is the secret. It makes the whole world beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes Mr. Egg, the world could certainly use more love. If you weren't so far away I would give you a good old fashioned hug.
DeleteThat is the exact key, the undeniable freedom of love. The more men that know this, the more hope I have in this world. Lovely tribute to the children, I hope that they honored you this weekend. Happy (late)Father's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteyes, more than I could ever hope for...they combined to cook me breakfast
Deleteit's great they you can be so proud of yourself and your kids and your relationship

Zongrik..thanks for the visit...I made one big mistake in this post. I never gave any credit to my wife and she deserves most of it...I guess I was all into the "father's Day" thing...Nothing good can ever be accomplished without a good wife.
