What I Told My Kids

I told my kids when they were young That education was its own reward. That its primary purpose was not To get a great job or to become wealthy. When seeing a very special table setting, My kids asked who would be coming to dinner. That's when I told them that they were the Special ones, and that we would no longer be Reserving the best table settings for others. When I dared to admit to my two boys that I Was unhappy about what I had achieved in life, They corrected me by reminding me of how they Saw it. Hearing what they heard and how they Saw it changed my way of thinking about myself. I remember having 4 heroes, 3 of which have Passed on. Last year I was reminded that there Were 3 other heroes that I had not considered. After consideration, I determined to write my Daughter and 2 sons. I informed them that they were my heroes, and told them the reason why. 020323PS
