I
realized that if we’re lucky, we get to experience the amazing transformation
of our relationship with our children.
We spend so many years taking care of them, guiding them, teaching them,
helping them to develop both the skills and the value system that will enable
them to lead independent and successful lives.
And then, one day we realize that they’ve transformed from little
children to teenagers to young adults to full-fledged adults. And in some ways, they become our friends and
our teachers.
Today I
wrote notes to both my children, letting them know how proud I am of them both
and how thankful I am to have them as friends and mentors in their own
rite. I’m a pretty lucky father and I
wanted them to know it.
