Im not really big on giving my sons advice. They probably wouldnt listen to me if I did -- and frankly, I make so many mistakes, theyd spend the rest of their lives unlearning the gems I left them. I did tell my oldest son to always make sure he put water in his oatmeal before he microwaves it. Trust me on that one. But I do hope that my kids learn from my example. And just saying that scares the daylights out of me. Because once again, I make many, many mistakes. I do want them to know that parents teach until the day they die. And they sometimes teach in negative ways. They will learn from their mother and I daily. They need to learn to be good students of life. And to realize that every person has a story and that story is what drives who they are. If they are good students, they can learn from everyone. I hope my kids pick that up. And I hope they put water in their oatmeal. Finding the battery in the smoke alarm is hard to do when the room is full of thick, black smoke.
