Parenting is hard. It takes an incredible amount of love and work to raise a happy healthy person. It can be trying even for well equipped parents – all the missed sleep with an infant, later when they are bulled at school or the indescribable stress when your teenager is out past curfew. This world can be harsh and as soon as you become a parent you understand with a laser focus your purpose… Help this child to be happy, healthy and live well. But I’ll bet by now you’re asking “What’s the secret?” Well here is one of the greatest discoveries of my life. All the work and love and sleepless nights that go into making your child a good person is deposited into a long term investment account. As an adult, your child then draws on that account to make YOUR GRANDCHILDREN! When you see the child you raised working hard, being loving and, from time to time being out-smarted by 3 year old logic, you finally begin to understand what life is really all about. The pride of a grandparent can ONLY be understood after you experience it. May everyone experience it.
