RAISING CHILDREN

Whatever you do as parents remember this one thing
If you please…
How the raising of your children is a lot like planting trees:

You nurture them with your time
your energy
your food
your water
your sun

But it isn’t until years later…
while sitting in their shade
you know how well you’ve done.
