C'mon... it's an easy decision to make (or it should be).

Even if your daughter never thanks you for being there, she will remember the times you aren't.

T-Ball, Baseball, National Cheerleading Champ, Brownies, Cub Scouts, Music, Peer Support, Body Image for Girls, PTA, GATE,DARE,Fundraising,School Carnaval's, Birthday Parties, Sleepover's, Room Rarent, Helping Teachers and sittin on the couch together===really good kids turning into young adults better than their parents==now were waiting for some new grand babies that are squishy and lovey!! Lots of time and work all over in a flash, well worth the effort!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was really getting into the outdooors when the kids popped in, no regrets, now I get time to get back out . A couple of times we temporarily fostered four other kids, you could tell that not having what we had was what those kids really wanted, as if they were looking from the outside in. We are far from perfect parents but spending time with our kids and being honest seemed to work and is a great journey, thats the best summit you never get to!!

Wow, very well written Doug. Couldn't agree more. Now if they had a bigger interest in hiking, that would help but oh well.
