It's so hard to realize that our role as parents isn't to block our children from experiencing any concievable hurt and harm, but rather to nurture and guide, and be there when there's nothing else we can do.

If I can teach by example then my kid should do alright whenever challenging, or even dangerous, situations arise in his life. I'm glad to hear the meeting was great!

I was always blown away by how I could sit in a room with people who before opening their mouths I was sure I would have nothing in common with. And then they would begin to talk and it was like they were in my head. And boy those old codgers are worth their weight in gold.. It’s amazing isn’t it?
