Sometimes hanging out with those who have been through many many decades or even a half of century or two have a greater perspective on what is important. What is important to a child and what holds true to be important in older age or at death are often very similar. Children will carry with them what we give them, so helping them build a strong foundation based on love is of great value. Invest in the children and it will pay off. It is up to us -- there is nothing more important to do!
