Happy Nu Zild Mothers' Day to Jacky, Jade, Ashleigh, and Samantha.
The quote on my calendar for today is one from Ann Landers. It reads:
In the end, it is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves.
Those influential years appear to be quite short - the independence streak hits pretty quickly in toddlerhood and just keeps on going.
It's interesting watching that develop in our grandchildren. Pretty soon, once starting school, they'll come under the influence of others - friends, teachers, boyfriends, girlfriends...
In those young years, let's say in our first seven, all of the preparation and groundwork is laid for the rest of our lives and we are totally ignorant of it as children.
For a parent, it's an awesome responsibility.
Love and peace - Papa
