A Promise To Make to Your Children:
Kiss them. Hug them. Tell Them: “I love you”.
A father, leaving on a business trip, kissed his family goodbye. The next day, his young daughter said to her mother, “I shouldn’t have washed off Daddy’s kiss. It will be a long time before he can kiss me again.” She thought for a moment and then said, “But it’s OK. Daddy’s kiss soaked into my heart.”
In this very uncertain world, your children must be absolutely certain of one thing – that you love them with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
Don’t let your children wonder if your love might be conditional – that you love them if they are good little children, if they get good grades, if they are the star of the play or the hero of the game, if they get into a good college, if they get a good job.
They must be sure that you love them not for what they do, but for who they are. They must be sure that you love them regardless (more…)
