It’s amazing Kiki – I always said to myself, “I’ll never do those things my parents made me do.” But as I grew up, I find myself going right back to what I experienced as a kid and even a stronger wanting to do so. I’m glad that my kids have a little of both their parents’ family traditions in the mix. I look forward to seeing what they carry on from us to their own kids. I think those are the memories that really mean something to them. And thank you, Matthew is a pretty great kid (unless you ask his brothers).

You nailed it… the key phrase there is “what we want”. As I sit back and watch them all grow up, they still need their parents. But now it’s for different reasons. Seemingly, they are far more expensive!

Thank you – my thoughts exactly! It’s easy to think that they aren’t really paying attention, but the truth is they are – all too often!

This is nice. The memories we have of our children are so precious…and what a gift to have your son want to emulate you.

I love this Tim! Of course I loved it when I first read it when you 1st posted it. The best and worst feeling is watching your children outgrow the what you want them to need us for!

What a nice story! As my kids mature, we are at the phase where they are finding out who they are, separate from us. I am looking forward to the day I see them coming back to their roots and embracing the traditions of our family. Your son sounds like a terrific kid!
