My Legacy

I love my kids. Each child is connected to some of my best and some of my worst times in the neverending quest to be the perfect parent. That is, after all, what most of us aim for in the beginning. A few years go by and the novelty starts to wear off. Seriously though, if you can forget how you were raised - if you were unhappy as a child - or embrace and instill it on the other end of the spectrum, you will be able to look at the end product and say, "Yeah, I did that!"

I know that each of my children carries a piece of my spirit within themselves. They are my legacy.
