How did you meet the challenges of growing up?
Or how are you meeting them now?
Do you have perfect parents?
I didn’t.
And I was not a perfect parent.
But I gave my birth-children and my step-children some excellent standards and practices and good manners.
Are they using them now?
I imagine so, some of them.
Are they going in directions I expected?
Each one is discovering a unique path that it was not my privilege to know.
Do they keep in touch?
More or less, somewhat, and yes, depending on the time, the issue, and memories.
The thing is, I am still growing, constantly, rigorously and vigorously.
And so are they.
