I reflect occasionally on that line in Dylan's song "climb on every rung." Experience and enjoy every day of life sure, but as a parent the meaning is far more. Formation, habits, discernment, truth and love are The Way to the stars and can only be achieved one rung at a time. And if as parents, we stop climbing one rung at time, so will our children follow. Thank you for such an elegant reminder!

This is such an eye-opening insight. I think you're right and as parents we need to keep going on our journey and model the same for our children. It is especially true when we face and overcome challenges. Thank you for this!

Well done! I can sense the bittersweet in there. However, it sounds like you and your husband did a good job.

Thank you, sir. We are trying. Maybe “work in progress” is a more accurate description!

Beautifully written as expected. 😊 I tend to ramble, so I will leave it at that.

Thank you, Dana. And I don’t ever think you ramble.
